More quotes by Mark Twain
A better idea than my own is to listen.
Mark Twain
In my age, as in my youth, night brings me many a deep remorse. I realize that from the cradle up I have been like the rest of the race - never quite sane in the night.
Mark Twain
Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.
Mark Twain
Our best built certainties are but sand-houses and subject to damage from any wind of doubt that blows
Mark Twain
when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity.
Mark Twain
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.
Mark Twain
To be good is noble but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.
Mark Twain
We are all alike, on the inside.
Mark Twain
There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition. There are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it.
Mark Twain
That cat will write her autograph all over your leg if you let her.
Mark Twain
God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.
Mark Twain
It is better to support schools than jails.
Mark Twain
It is higher and nobler to be kind.
Mark Twain
Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.
Mark Twain
Honest poverty is a gem that even a king might be proud to call his own - but I wish to sell out
Mark Twain
Oh Death where is thy sting! It has none. But life has.
Mark Twain
The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.
Mark Twain
Do something everyday that you don't want to do.
Mark Twain
I have not professionally dealt in truth. Many when they come to die have spent all the truth that was in them, and enter the next world as paupers. I have saved up enough to make an astonishment there.
Mark Twain
You may have noticed that the less I know about a subject the more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it.
Mark Twain
