More quotes by Mark Twain
If one is honest there is no need to remember.
Mark Twain
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain
We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.
Mark Twain
Travel has no longer any charm for me. I have seen all the foreign countries I want to except heaven & hell & I have only a vague curiosity about one of those.
Mark Twain
Those who do not read have no advantage over those who cannot read.
Mark Twain
Man seems to be a rickety poor sort of thing, any way you take him a kind of British Museum of infirmities and inferiorities. He is always undergoing repairs. A machine that was as unreliable as he is would have no market.
Mark Twain
There isn't anything you can't stand if you are only born and bred to it.
Mark Twain
Your road is everything that a road ought to be...and yet you will not stay in it half a mile, for the reason that little, seductive, mysterious roads are always branching out from it on either hand, and as these curve sharply also and hide what is beyond, you cannot resist the temptation to desert your own chosen path and explore them.
Mark Twain
The law of work does seem utterly unfair-but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash, too.
Mark Twain
It is my custom to keep on talking until I get the audience cowed.
Mark Twain
I wrote 'Tom Sawyer' and 'Huck Finn' for adults exclusively, and it always distressed me when I find that boys and girls have been allowed access to them. The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean.
Mark Twain
Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it.
Mark Twain
Distance lends enchantment to the view.
Mark Twain
The law is a system that protects everybody who can afford to hire a good lawyer.
Mark Twain
You may say organize, organize, organize but there may be so much organization that it will interfere with the work to be done.
Mark Twain
The cost of living hasn't effected its popularity.
Mark Twain
To create man was a quaint and original idea, but to add the sheep was tautology.
Mark Twain
To be satisfied with what one has that is wealth.
Mark Twain
I can always tell which is the front end of a horse, but beyond that, my art is not above the ordinary.
Mark Twain
