More quotes by Mark Twain
Had double chins all the way down to his stomach.
Mark Twain
Your friends may love you in private but your enemies will hate you in public.
Mark Twain
More than once I have been humiliated by my resemblance to God the father He is always longing for the love of His children and trying to get it on the cheapest and laziest terms He can invent.
Mark Twain
And so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
Mark Twain
People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
Mark Twain
There are things which some people never attempt during their whole lives, but one of these is not poetry. Poetry attacks all human beings sooner or later, and, like the measles, is mild or violent according to the age of the sufferer.
Mark Twain
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.
Mark Twain
Old habits cannot be thrown out the upstairs window. They have to be coaxed downstairs one step at a time.
Mark Twain
It is a shameful thing to insult a child.
Mark Twain
Education is what you must acquire without any interference from your schooling.
Mark Twain
I have been an author for 20 years and an ass for 55.
Mark Twain
Don't wait the time is never just right.
Mark Twain
Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people.
Mark Twain
That is a society editor, sitting there elegantly dressed, with his legs crossed in that indolent way, observing the clothes the ladies wear, so that he can describe them for his paper and make them out finer than they are and get bribes for it and become wealthy.
Mark Twain
There is no security in life, only opportunity.
Mark Twain
Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.
Mark Twain
No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.
Mark Twain
I like the truth sometimes, but I don't care enough for it to hanker after it.
Mark Twain
The first time a student realizes that a little learning is a dangerous thing is when he brings home a poor report card.
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
