More quotes by Mark Twain
We regret the things we don't do more than the things we do.
Mark Twain
How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way.
Mark Twain
All gentle cant and philosophizing to the contrary notwithstanding, no people in this world ever did achieve their freedom by goody-goody talk and moral suasion: it being immutable law that all revolutions that will succeed, must begin in blood.
Mark Twain
We can't always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go
Mark Twain
Circumstances make man, not man circumstances.
Mark Twain
I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure.
Mark Twain
The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.
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
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 nothing so annoying as a good example!!
Mark Twain
No man, deep down in the privacy of his heart, has any considerable respect for himself.
Mark Twain
If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat.
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
I went to the circus, and loafed around the back side till the watchman went by, and then dived in under the tent. I had my twenty-dollar gold piece and some other money, but I reckoned I better save it.... I ain't opposed to spending money on circuses, when there ain't no other way, but there ain't no use in wasting it on them.
Mark Twain
[The Bible is] a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology.
Mark Twain
I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time.
Mark Twain
it is not wise to keep the fire going under a slander unless you can get some large advantage out of keeping it alive. Few slanders can stand the wear of silence.
Mark Twain
A banquet is probably the most fatiguing thing in the world except ditch digging.
Mark Twain
I've seen many troubles in my time, only half of which ever came true.
Mark Twain
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain
