Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any.
Mark Twain
When the world is made to be idiot-proof, the world will become overpopulated with idiots.
Mark Twain
The only people who should use the possessive 'we' are kings, newspaper editors, and persons with tapeworms.

Mark Twain
I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me he can't be any worse.
Mark Twain
Never miss an opportunity to shut up.
Mark Twain
If you have to swallow a frog, don't stare at it too long.
Mark Twain
A man may have no bad habits and have worse
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
You know that kind of quiver that trembles around through you when you are seeing something so strange and enchanting and wonderful that it is just a fearful joy to be alive and look at it and you know how you gaze, and your lips turn dry and your breath comes short, but you wouldn't be anywhere but there, not for the world.
Mark Twain
We have to keep our God placated with prayer, and even then we are never sure of him-how much higher and finer is the Indian's God...Our illogical God is all-powerful in name, but impotent in fact the Great Spirit is not all-powerful, but does the very best he can for his injun and does it free of charge
Mark Twain
Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination.
Mark Twain
