More quotes by Mark Twain
Wherefore being all of one mind, we do highly resolve that government of the grafted by the grafter for the grafter shall not perish from the earth.
Mark Twain
This is the year 1492. I am eighty-two years of age. The things I am going to tell you are things which I saw myself as a child and as a youth.
Mark Twain
The moral of it is this: If you are of any account, stay at home and make your way by faithful diligence but if you are 'no account,' go away from home, and then you will have to work, whether you want to or not. Thus you become a blessing to your friends by ceasing to be a nuisance to them-if the people you go among suffer by the operation.
Mark Twain
There is no use in your walking five miles to fish when you can depend on being just as unsuccessful near home.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
We recognize that there are no trivial occurrences in life if we get the right focus on them.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.
Mark Twain
I bring you this stately matron named Christendom, returning bedraggled, besmirched, and dishonored from pirate raids in Kiao-Chow, Manchuria, South Africa, and the Phillipines, with her soul full of meanness, her pocket full of boodle, and her mouth full of pious hypocrisies. Give her soap and a towel, but hide the looking-glass.
Mark Twain
To be good is noble but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.
Mark Twain
When a man arrives at great prosperity God did it: when he falls into disaster he did it himself.
Mark Twain
Ethical man: A Christian holding four aces.
Mark Twain
When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.
Mark Twain
If I cannot smoke in heaven, then I shall not go.
Mark Twain
It is curious and interesting to notice what an attraction a fussy, mincing, nickel-plated word has for you.
Mark Twain
