More quotes by Mark Twain
The law is a system that protects everybody who can afford to hire a good lawyer.
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

How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way.

How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Time spent with your children is time wisely spent.
Mark Twain
Wherefore being all of one mind, we do highly resolve that government of the grafted by the grafter for the grafter shall not perish from the earth.
Mark Twain
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.
Mark Twain
My sister...was an interested and zealous invalid during sixty-five years, tried all the new diseases as fast as they came out, and always enjoyed the newest one more than any that went before my brother had accumulated forty-two brands of Christianity before he was called away.
Mark Twain
We regret the things we don't do more than the things we do.
Mark Twain
You can't pray a lie -- I found that out.
Mark Twain
In my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.
Mark Twain
Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my lifelong keeping. You cannot see its waves as they flow toward you, darling, but in these lines you will hear...the distant beating of its surf.
Mark Twain
Every man is in his own person the whole human race without a detail lacking....I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born.
Mark Twain
