More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Congress: America's only true criminal class.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Tomorrow night I appear for the first time before a Boston audience - 4000 critics.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death.
Mark Twain
Between believing a thing and thinking you KNOW is only a small step and quickly taken.
Mark Twain
I'm the only person who has ever found the right way to build an autobiography.
Mark Twain
Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of [Muslim] rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound.
Mark Twain
I should be sorry to think it was the publishers themselves they got up this entire little flutter to enable them to unload a book that was taking too much room in their cellars, but you can never tell what a publisher will do. I have been one myself.
Mark Twain
There is no security in life, only opportunity.
Mark Twain
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
Mark Twain
The lie, as a virtue, a principle, is eternal the lie, as a recreation, a solace, a refuge in time of need, the fourth Grace, the tenth Muse, man's best and surest friend is immortal
Mark Twain
The most outrageous lies that can be invented will find believers if a person only tells them with all his might.
Mark Twain
