Mark Twain
There is nothing so annoying as to have two people talking when you're busy interrupting.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Demagogue--a vessel containing beer and other liquids.
Mark Twain
In my schoolboy days I had no aversion to slavery. I was not aware there was anything wrong about it.

There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
When a teacher calls a boy by his entire name, it means trouble.
Mark Twain

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
A marriage. . .will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.
Mark Twain
We take a natural interest in novelties, but it is against nature to take an interest in familiar things.
Mark Twain
Humor is man's greatest blessing.
Mark Twain
The only people who should use the possessive 'we' are kings, newspaper editors, and persons with tapeworms.
Mark Twain
Therein lies the defect of revenge: it's all in the anticipation the thing itself is a pain, not a pleasure at least the pain is the biggest end of it.
Mark Twain
The pulpit and the optimist are always talking about the human race's steady march toward ultimate perfection. As usual, they leave out the statistics. It is the pulpit's way - the optimist's way.
Mark Twain
The difference between those that succeed and those that fail is, those that succeeded tried.
Mark Twain
