More quotes by Mark Twain
I have been born more times than anybody except Krishna.
Mark Twain
It were not best that we should all think alike.
Mark Twain
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
Mark Twain
The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become until he goes abroad.
Mark Twain
It's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened.
Mark Twain
And how moving is the eloquence of the untaught when it is the heart that is speaking!
Mark Twain
If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.
Mark Twain
The Koran does not permit Mohammedans to drink. Their natural instincts do not permit them to be moral. They say the Sultan has eight hundred wives. This almost amounts to bigamy.
Mark Twain
I don't believe any of you have ever read Paradise Lost, and you don't want to. That's something that you just want to take on trust. It's a classic ... something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Mark Twain
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Constellations have always been troublesome things to name. If you give one of them a fanciful name, it will always refuse to live up to it it will always persist in not resembling the thing it has been named for.
Mark Twain
A man who carries a cat by the tail is getting experience that will always be helpful. He isn't likely to grow dim or doubtful. Chances are, he isn't likely to carry the cat that way again, either. But if he wants to, I say let him!
Mark Twain
To be satisfied with what one has that is wealth.
Mark Twain
A friend is someone who stays in when the rest of the world has gone out.
Mark Twain
We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.
Mark Twain
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
Mark Twain
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Mark Twain
He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients - no, three, I think - yes, it was three I attended their funerals.
Mark Twain
Do good when you can, and charge when you think they will stand it.
Mark Twain
