Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?
Mark Twain
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.
Mark Twain
By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law.
Mark Twain
I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.
Mark Twain
My father was an amazing man. The older I got, the smarter he got.
Mark Twain
I like criticism, but it must be my way.
Mark Twain
Etiquette requires us to admire the human race.

Mark Twain
Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?
Mark Twain
Sum all the gifts that man is endowed with, and we give our greatest share of admiration to his energy. And today, if I were a heathen, I would rear a statue to Energy and fall down and worship it!
Mark Twain
Words are only painted fire, a look is the fire itself. She gave that look, and carried it away to the treasury of heaven, where all things that are divine belong.
Mark Twain
A marriage. . .will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.
Mark Twain
Those who do not read the news are uninformed. Those who do are misinformed.
Mark Twain
The calamity that comes is never the one we had prepared ourselves for.
Mark Twain
We all like to see people sea-sick when we are not ourselves.
Mark Twain
I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me he can't be any worse.
Mark Twain
I try never to let my schooling get in the way of my education.
Mark Twain
