More quotes by Mark Twain
All our acts, reasoned and unreasoned, are selfish
Mark Twain
Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.
Mark Twain
I am living a new and exalted life of late. It steeps me in a sacred rapture to see a portrait develop and take soul under my hand. First, I throw off a study - just a mere study, a few apparently random lines - and to look at it you would hardly ever suspect who it was going to be even I cannot tell, myself.
Mark Twain
Jesus died to save men - a small thing for an immortal to do - and didn't save many, anyway. But if he had been damned for the race, that would have been act of a size proper to a god, and would have saved the whole race.
Mark Twain
We all belong to the nasty stinking little human race, & of course it is not nice for God's beloved vermin to scoff at each other... Oh, we are a nasty little lot-& to think there are people who would like to save us & continue us. It won't happen if I have any influence.
Mark Twain
One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.
Mark Twain
To place man properly at the present time, he stands somewhere between the angels and the French.
Mark Twain
To be satisfied with what one has that is wealth.
Mark Twain
The Germans are exceedingly fond of Rhine wines they are put up in tall, slender bottles, and are considered a pleasant beverage. One tells them from vinegar by the label.
Mark Twain
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
Mark Twain
We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.
Mark Twain
when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity.
Mark Twain
Like most people, I often feel mean, and act accordingly.
Mark Twain
Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.
Mark Twain
High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water but everybody likes water.
Mark Twain
English humor is hard to appreciate, though, unless you are trained to it. The English papers, in reporting my speeches, always put 'laughter' in the wrong place.
Mark Twain
I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one.
Mark Twain
Germany, the diseased world's bathhouse.
Mark Twain
It is better to support schools than jails.
Mark Twain
What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth.
Mark Twain
