More quotes by Mark Twain
If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.
Mark Twain
isn't so astonishing, the number of things that I can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren't so.
Mark Twain
I don't believe any of you have ever read Paradise Lost, and you don't want to. That's something that you just want to take on trust. It's a classic ... something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Mark Twain
But it warn't no time to be sentimentering.
Mark Twain
Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board.
Mark Twain
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.
Mark Twain
I have been on the verge of being an angel all my life, but it's never happened yet.
Mark Twain
It must be well-nigh a maximum of sense to behave so that one escapes being hanged.
Mark Twain
Benefit of clergy: Half-rate on the railroad.
Mark Twain
When someone dies, it is like when your house burns down it isn't for years that you realize the full extent of your loss.
Mark Twain
Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people.
Mark Twain
If you're looking for friends when you need them...it's too late.
Mark Twain
Do something everyday that you don't want to do.
Mark Twain
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
The trouble with most of us is that we know too much that ain't so.
Mark Twain
A lie can make it half way around the world before the truth has time to put its boots on.
Mark Twain
In all my travels the thing that has impressed me the most is the universal brotherhood of man-what there is of it.
Mark Twain
You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present you should have recognized them earlier.
Mark Twain
There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency - and a vice.
Mark Twain
I am the entire human race compacted together. I have found that there is no ingredient of the race which I do not possess in either a small way or a large way.
Mark Twain
