More quotes by Mark Twain
The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all.
Mark Twain
Sacred cows make the best hamburger.
Mark Twain
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
Mark Twain
How empty is theory in the presence of fact!
Mark Twain
If you're looking for friends when you need them...it's too late.
Mark Twain
To me [Edgar Allen Poe's] prose is unreadableālike Jane Austin's [sic]. No there is a difference. I could read his prose on salary, but not Jane's. Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death.
Mark Twain
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
Mark Twain
If we only had some God in the country's laws, instead of being in such a sweat to get him into the Constitution, it would be better all around.
Mark Twain
There is nothing more awe-inspiring than a miracle except the credulity that can take it at par.
Mark Twain
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
Mark Twain
Those who do not read the news are uninformed. Those who do are misinformed.
Mark Twain
To trust the God of the Bible is to trust an irascible, vindictive, fierce and ever fickle and changeful master.
Mark Twain
Your actions speak so much louder than words.
Mark Twain
Age enlarges and enriches the powers of some musical instruments - notably those of the violin - but it seems to set a piano's teeth on edge.
Mark Twain
Man seems to be a rickety poor sort of thing, any way you take him a kind of British Museum of infirmities and inferiorities. He is always undergoing repairs. A machine that was as unreliable as he is would have no market.
Mark Twain
He is now rising from affluence to poverty.
Mark Twain
Does the human being reason? No he thinks, muses, reflects, but does not reason...that is, in the two things which are the peculiar domain of the heart, not the mind, politics and religion. He doesn't want to know the other side. He wants arguments and statistics for his own side, and nothing more.
Mark Twain
I like criticism, but it must be my way.
Mark Twain
Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether. A clean desk is a sign of a cluttered desk drawer. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
Mark Twain
If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.
Mark Twain
