More quotes by Mark Twain
A soiled baby with a neglected nose cannot be conscientiously regarded as a thing of beauty.
Mark Twain
Words are only painted fire, a look is the fire itself. She gave that look, and carried it away to the treasury of heaven, where all things that are divine belong.
Mark Twain
Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board.
Mark Twain
Sagebrush is a very fair fuel, but as a vegetable it is a distinguished failure. Nothing can abide the taste of it but the jackass and his illegitimate child the mule.
Mark Twain
I simply can't resist a cat, particularly a purring one.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
I've seen many troubles in my time, only half of which ever came true.
Mark Twain
There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.
Mark Twain
Homely truth is unpalatable.
Mark Twain
There warn't anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn't any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summer-time because it's cool. If you notice, most folks don't go to church only when they've got to but a hog is different.
Mark Twain
The more you explain it, the more I don't understand it.
Mark Twain
The choir always tittered and whispered all through the service. There was once a church choir that was not ill-bred, but I have forgotten where it was.
Mark Twain
To place man properly at the present time, he stands somewhere between the angels and the French.
Mark Twain
The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.
Mark Twain
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.
Mark Twain
The law is a system that protects everybody who can afford to hire a good lawyer.
Mark Twain
