More quotes by Mark Twain
Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it.
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
Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth
Mark Twain
It makes one hope and believe that a day will come when, in the eye of the law, literary property will be as sacred as whiskey, or any other of the necessaries of life. It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
Mark Twain
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
Mark Twain
To place man properly at the present time, he stands somewhere between the angels and the French.
Mark Twain
If I had more time, I would have written less.
Mark Twain
Imagination labors best in distant fields.
Mark Twain
I don't believe there is anything in the whole earth that you can't learn in Berlin except the German language.
Mark Twain
I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one.
Mark Twain
Every man is a moon and has a side which he turns toward nobody: you have to slip around behind it if you want to see it.
Mark Twain
You thunder and lightning too much the reader ceases to get under the bed, by and by.
Mark Twain
It's easy to make friends, but hard to get rid of them.
Mark Twain
Don't wait the time is never just right.
Mark Twain
The source of all humor is not laughter, but sorrow.
Mark Twain
We are always too busy for our children we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.
Mark Twain
Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.
Mark Twain
Even popularity can be overdone. In Rome, along at first, you are full of regrets that Michelangelo died but by and by, you only regret that you didn't see him do it.
Mark Twain
Nothing so focuses the mind as the prospect of being hanged.
Mark Twain
If you had made the acquiring of ignorance the study of your life, you could not have graduated with higher honor than you could to-day.
Mark Twain
