More quotes by Mark Twain
There are some few people I respect and admire, but I don't think much of the species.
Mark Twain
It is not in the least likely that any life has ever been lived which was not a failure in the secret judgment of the person who lived it.
Mark Twain
Who knows, he may grow up to be President someday, unless they hang him first! Aunt Polly about Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain
First catch your Boer, then kick him.
Mark Twain
You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,' but that ain't no matter. That book was made by a Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.
Mark Twain
There's a good spot tucked away somewhere in everybody. You'll be a long time finding it, sometimes.
Mark Twain
We called him Barney for short. We couldn't use his real name, there wasn't time.
Mark Twain
Being rich ain't what it's cracked up to be. It's just worry and worry, and sweat and sweat, and a-wishing you was dead all the time.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The cigar-box which the European calls a 'lift' needs but to be compared with our elevators to be appreciated. The lift stops to reflect between floors. That is all right in a hearse, but not in elevators. The American elevator acts like a man's patent purge-it works.
Mark Twain
There has been only one Christian. They caught and curcified him-early.
Mark Twain
Don't dream your life, but live your dream
Mark Twain
The difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction must be absolutely believable.
Mark Twain
A man who carries a cat by the tail is getting experience that will always be helpful. He isn't likely to grow dim or doubtful. Chances are, he isn't likely to carry the cat that way again, either. But if he wants to, I say let him!
Mark Twain
A mine is a hole in the ground with a liar on top.
Mark Twain
How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way.
Mark Twain
Conscience, man's moral medicine chest.
Mark Twain
But soft you, the fair Ophelia: Ope not thy ponderous and marble jaws, But get thee to a nunnery - go!
Mark Twain
It has always been a peculiarity of the human race that it keeps two sets of morals in stock-the private and the real, and the public and the artificial.
Mark Twain
Explaining humor is a lot like dissecting a frog, you learn a lot in the process, but in the end you kill it.
Mark Twain
