More quotes by Mark Twain
It is not what a man knows, but what he thinks of in time.
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
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there.
Mark Twain
You can't throw too much style into a miracle.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
And so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
Mark Twain
Do right and you will be conspicuous.
Mark Twain
When majority is insane, sane must go to asylum.
Mark Twain
And how moving is the eloquence of the untaught when it is the heart that is speaking!
Mark Twain
Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.
Mark Twain
I went to the circus, and loafed around the back side till the watchman went by, and then dived in under the tent. I had my twenty-dollar gold piece and some other money, but I reckoned I better save it.... I ain't opposed to spending money on circuses, when there ain't no other way, but there ain't no use in wasting it on them.
Mark Twain
One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.
Mark Twain
