It's not the parts of the Bible I don't know that worries me...it's the parts that I do.
Mark Twain
When the world is made to be idiot-proof, the world will become overpopulated with idiots.
Mark Twain
Make your mark in New York and you are a made man.
Mark Twain
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. You cannot eliminate habits that no longer serve you. You can only replace them with new habits that support your goals. Moment by moment, you need to live with awareness and structure the habits that you include or exclude in your days.
Mark Twain
God's great cosmic joke on the human race was requiring that men and women live together in marriage
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain
A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words in a book or newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt.
Mark Twain
First catch your Boer, then kick him.
Mark Twain
Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.
Mark Twain
The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible.
Mark Twain
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.
Mark Twain
Our lives, our liberty, and our property are never in greater danger than when Congress is in session.
Mark Twain
