More quotes by Mark Twain
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.
Mark Twain
Never knew before what eternity was made for. It is to give some of us a chance to learn German.
Mark Twain
Concentration of power in a political machine is bad and an Established Church is only a political machine it was invented for that it is nursed, cradled, preserved for that it is an enemy to human liberty, and does no good which it could not better do in a split-up and scattered condition.
Mark Twain
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
Mark Twain
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Humor is mankind's greatest blessing.
Mark Twain
Morals consist of political morals, commercial morals, ecclesiastical morals, and morals.
Mark Twain
Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, political, or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Man is the only animal that is cruel. It kills just for the sake of it.
Mark Twain
There have been innumerable Temporary Seekers after the Truth-have you ever heard of a permanent one?
Mark Twain
When grown-up persons indulge in practical jokes, the fact gauges them. They have lived narrow, obscure, and ignorant lives, and at full manhood they still retain and cherish a job lot of left-over standards and ideals that would have been discarded with their boyhood if they had then moved out into the world and a broader life.
Mark Twain
The source of all humor is not laughter, but sorrow.
Mark Twain
I don't see any use in having a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome variety is pleasing.
Mark Twain
It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race.
Mark Twain
There are no people who are quite so vulgar as the over-refined.
Mark Twain
Genius has no youth, but starts with the ripeness of age and old experience.
Mark Twain
