More quotes by Mark Twain
Guides cannot master the subtleties of the American joke.
Mark Twain
I don't speak German well but several experts have assured me that I write it like an angel. Maybe so, maybe so- I don't know. I've not yet made any acquaintances among the angels. That comes later, whenever it please the Deity. I'm not in any hurry.
Mark Twain
Manifestly, dying is nothing to a really great and brave man.
Mark Twain
You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the allopaths (orthodoxy) to destroy it.
Mark Twain
Each season brings a world of enjoyment and interest in the watching of its unfolding, its gradual harmonious development, its culminating graces-and just as one begins to tire of it, it passes away and a radical change comes, with new witcheries and new glories in its train.
Mark Twain
All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course-- consist of pilferings from other people's wash. No tribe, howsoever insignificant, and no nation, howsoever mighty occupies a foot of land that was not stolen.
Mark Twain
To be great, truly great, you have to be the kind of person who makes the others around you great.
Mark Twain
Apparently one of the most uncertain things in the world is the funeral of a religion.
Mark Twain
Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them.
Mark Twain
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.
Mark Twain
Consider the average intelligence of the common man, then realize 50% are even stupider.
Mark Twain
There are some few people I respect and admire, but I don't think much of the species.
Mark Twain
No one is sane, straight along, year in and year out, and we all know it. Our insanities are of varying sorts, and express themselves in varying forms-fortunately harmless forms as a rule.
Mark Twain
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
Mark Twain
My land, the power of training! Of influence! Of education! It can bring a body up to believe anything.
Mark Twain
Among other common lies, we have the silent lie - the deception which one conveys by simply keeping still and concealing the truth. Many obstinate truth-mongers indulge in this dissipation, imagining that if they speak no lie, they lie not at all.
Mark Twain
If work were so pleasant, the rich would keep it for themselves.
Mark Twain
Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes-none knows whence-and cannot explain itself.
Mark Twain
Who is this Renaissance? Where did he come from? Who gave him permission to cram the Republic with his execrable daubs?
Mark Twain
I have thought many times since that if poets when they get discouraged would blow their brains out, they could write very much better when they got well.
Mark Twain
