More quotes by Mark Twain
Tell me about a person's family, friends, and community, and I'll tell you what his opinions are.
Mark Twain
All large political doctrines are rich in difficult problems - problems that are quite above the average citizen's reach. And that is not strange, since they are also above the reach of the ablest minds in the country after all the fuss and all the talk, not one of those doctrines has been conclusively proven to be the right one and the best.
Mark Twain
There are two types of speakers: those that are nervous and those that are liars.
Mark Twain
Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.
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
Words are only painted fire, a look is the fire itself. She gave that look, and carried it away to the treasury of heaven, where all things that are divine belong.
Mark Twain
We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Mark Twain
Such is professional jealousy a scientist will never show any kindness for a theory which he did not start himself.
Mark Twain
Don't dream your life, but live your dream
Mark Twain
Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident.
Mark Twain
Each nation knowing it has the only true religion and the only sane system of government, each despising all the others, each an ass and not suspecting it.
Mark Twain
That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.
Mark Twain
We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that.
Mark Twain
True irreverence is disrespect for another man's god.
Mark Twain
I speak French with timidity, and not flowingly--except when excited. When using that language I have often noticed that I have hardly ever been mistaken for a Frenchman, except, perhaps, by horses never, I believe, by people.
Mark Twain
Not until you become a stranger to yourself will you be able to make acquaintance with the Friend.
Mark Twain
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.
Mark Twain
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
Mark Twain
If one is honest there is no need to remember.
Mark Twain
Cats are the wildest of the tame and the tamest of the wild
