More quotes by Mark Twain
What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth.
Mark Twain
There's something in it when a body like the widow or the parson prays, but it don't work for me, and I reckon it don't work for only just the right kind.
Mark Twain
My father was an amazing man. The older I got, the smarter he got.
Mark Twain
I was educated once - it took me years to get over it.
Mark Twain
Humor, to be comprehensible to anybody, must be built upon a foundation with which he is familiar. If he can't see the foundation the superstructure is to him merely a freak -- like the Flatiron building without any visible means of support -- something that ought to be arrested.
Mark Twain
No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot
Mark Twain
The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next.
Mark Twain
We grant God the possession of all the qualities of mind except the one that keeps the others healthy that watches over their dignity that focuses their vision true--humor.
Mark Twain
One compliment can keep me going for a whole month.
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
I have a religion-but you will call it blasphemy. It is that there is a God for the rich man but none for the poor.....Perhaps your religion will sustain you,will feed you-I place no dependence in mine. Our religions are alike, though, in one respect-neither can make a man happy when he is out of luck.
Mark Twain
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
Every man is in his own person the whole human race without a detail lacking....I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born.
Mark Twain
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain
My father was a Saint Bernard, my mother was a Collie, but I am a Presbyterian.
Mark Twain
Every generalization is dangerous, especially this one.
Mark Twain
I was educated, I was trained, I was a Presbyterian and I knew how these things are done. I knew that in Biblical times if a man committed a sin the extermination of the whole surrounding nation-cattle and all-was likely to happen. I knew that Providence was not particular about the rest, so that He got somebody connected with the one He was after.
Mark Twain
There are many humorous things in the world among them, the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages.
Mark Twain
If ever you've been down in the dumps, hear these iconic authors share with you more than their writing wisdom.
Mark Twain
Cats are the wildest of the tame and the tamest of the wild
Mark Twain
