More quotes by Mark Twain
Germany, the diseased world's bathhouse.
Mark Twain
Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done.
Mark Twain
There ought to be a room in every house to swear in. It's dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that.
Mark Twain
When in doubt tell the truth.
Mark Twain
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Mark Twain
Don't you know that the very thing a man dreads is the thing that always happens?
Mark Twain
There has been only one Christian. They caught and curcified him-early.
Mark Twain
I am able to say that while I am not ruggedly well, I am not ill enough to excite an undertaker.
Mark Twain
None but an ass pays a compliment and asks a favour at the same time. There are many asses.
Mark Twain
The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.
Mark Twain
An American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi-Gras in New Orleans.
Mark Twain
Greece is a bleak, unsmiling desert, without agriculture, manufactures or commerce, apparently. What supports its poverty-stricken people or its Government, is a mystery.
Mark Twain
One holds a bottle of red wine by the neck, a woman by the waist, and a bottle of champagne by the derriere.
Mark Twain
When a man's dog turns against hime, it is time for his wife to pack her trunk and go home to mamma.
Mark Twain
Good wine needs no bush a jug is the thing.
Mark Twain
I have spent most of my time worrying about things that have never happened. Worrying is not an action! In fact, it is action that alleviates concern and dissipates worries. Take more actions when you feel that worry is creeping in to steal your time. It need not be a huge action, any action in the direction you want to go will do.
Mark Twain
The community is eminently Portuguese - that is to say, it is slow, poor, shiftless, sleepy, and lazy.
Mark Twain
I am only human, although I regret it.
Mark Twain
But the elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.
Mark Twain
The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow.
Mark Twain
