More quotes by Mark Twain
The best of us would rather be popular than right.
Mark Twain
There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
Mark Twain
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Benefit of clergy: Half-rate on the railroad.
Mark Twain
The only people that a bank will loan money to is the very people who don't need it.
Mark Twain
His money is twice tainted: taint yours and taint mine.
Mark Twain
Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.
Mark Twain
The joy of killing! the joy of seeing killing done - these are traits of the human race at large.
Mark Twain
High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water but everybody likes water.
Mark Twain
I speak French with timidity, and not flowingly--except when excited. When using that language I have often noticed that I have hardly ever been mistaken for a Frenchman, except, perhaps, by horses never, I believe, by people.
Mark Twain
Between us, we cover all knowledge he knows all that can be known and I know the rest.
Mark Twain
All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime.
Mark Twain
Data is like garbage. You'd better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.
Mark Twain
Adam did not want the apple for the apple's sake he wanted it because it was forbidden.
Mark Twain
I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie I can, but I won't.
Mark Twain
You can never find a Christian who has acquired this valuable knowledge, this saving knowledge, by any process but the everlasting and all-sufficient 'people say.'
Mark Twain
He had only one vanity he thought he could give advice better than any other person.
Mark Twain
Jesus died to save men - a small thing for an immortal to do - and didn't save many, anyway. But if he had been damned for the race, that would have been act of a size proper to a god, and would have saved the whole race.
Mark Twain
Dates are hard to remember because they consist of figures figures are monotonously unstriking in appearance, and they don't take hold, they form no pictures, and so they give the eye no chance to help. Pictures are the thing. Pictures can make dates stick.
Mark Twain
Of course, no man is entirely in his right mind at any time.
Mark Twain
