Travel has no longer any charm for me. I have seen all the foreign countries I want to except heaven & hell & I have only a vague curiosity about one of those.
Mark Twain
Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
Mark Twain
And how moving is the eloquence of the untaught when it is the heart that is speaking!
Mark Twain
We need not worry so much about what man descends from it's what he descends to that shames the human race.
Mark Twain
And so I am become a knight of the Kingdom of Dreams and Shadows
Mark Twain
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Mark Twain
Foreigners cannot enjoy our food, I suppose, any more than we can enjoy theirs. It is not strange for tastes are made, not born. I might glorify my bill of fare until I was tired but after all, the Scotchman would shake his head and say, 'Where's your haggis?' and the Fijan would sigh and say, 'Where's your missionary?'
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.
Mark Twain
I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't...The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.
Mark Twain
Grown people everywhere are always likely to cling to the religion they were brought up in.
Mark Twain
Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes-none knows whence-and cannot explain itself.
Mark Twain
Good wine needs no bush a jug is the thing.
Mark Twain
A railroad is like a lie you have to keep building it to make it stand.
Mark Twain
Great enterprises usually promise vastly more than they perform.
Mark Twain
Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
Mark Twain
The joy of killing! the joy of seeing killing done - these are traits of the human race at large.
Mark Twain
A tax is a fine for doing well, a fine is a tax for doing wrong.
Mark Twain
