More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The less a man knows the bigger the noise he makes and the higher the salary he commands.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Broad, wholesome, charitable views .. can not be acquired by vegetating in one's little corner of the earth.
Mark Twain
Conformity—the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
In all my travels the thing that has impressed me the most is the universal brotherhood of man-what there is of it.
Mark Twain
The calamity that comes is never the one we had prepared ourselves for.
Mark Twain
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.
Mark Twain
The smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes.
Mark Twain
The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.
Mark Twain
I felt so lonesome I most wished I was dead. The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die.
Mark Twain
