More quotes by Mark Twain
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
Only he who has seen better days and lives to see better days again knows their full value.
Mark Twain
Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.
Mark Twain
The laws of Nature take precedence of all human laws. The purpose of all human laws is one - to defeat the laws of Nature. This is the case among all the nations, both civilized and savage. It is a grotesquerie, but when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity.
Mark Twain
I do not allow my schooling to interfere with my education
Mark Twain
Humor is the good natured side of a truth.
Mark Twain
There are those who scoff at the schoolboy, calling him frivolous and shallow: Yet it was the schoolboy who said 'Faith is believing what you know ain't so'.
Mark Twain
Doesn't make any difference who we are or what we are, there's always somebody to look down on.
Mark Twain
Delicacy - a sad, sad false delicacy - robs literature of the two best things among its belongings: Family-circle narratives & obscene stories.
Mark Twain
It's easy to make friends, but hard to get rid of them.
Mark Twain
Too much is just enough.
Mark Twain
He had only one vanity he thought he could give advice better than any other person.
Mark Twain
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
All human rules are more or less idiotic.
Mark Twain
Foreigners cannot enjoy our food, I suppose, any more than we can enjoy theirs. It is not strange for tastes are made, not born. I might glorify my bill of fare until I was tired but after all, the Scotchman would shake his head and say, 'Where's your haggis?' and the Fijan would sigh and say, 'Where's your missionary?'
Mark Twain
Bridgeport? Said I. Camelot, Said he.
Mark Twain
Cats are the wildest of the tame and the tamest of the wild
Mark Twain
Hunger is the handmaid of genius
Mark Twain
Morals are not the important thing-nor enlightenment-nor civilization. A man can do absolutely well without them, but he can't do without something to eat. The supremest thing is the need of the body, not of the mind and spirit.
Mark Twain
No public interest is anything other or nobler than a massed accumulation of private interests.
Mark Twain
