More quotes by Mark Twain
We are always too busy for our children we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.
Mark Twain
A man with a hump-backed uncle mustn't make fun of another man's cross-eyed aunt
Mark Twain
You can't no more teach what you ain't learned than you can come from where you ain't been.
Mark Twain
We must put up with clothes as they are they have their reason for existing. They are on us to expose us to advertise what we wear them to conceal.
Mark Twain
A habit cannot be tossed out the window it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.
Mark Twain
The best of us would rather be popular than right.
Mark Twain
The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.
Mark Twain
The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become until he goes abroad.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The fact is, the king was a good deal more than a king, he was a man and when a man is a man, you can't knock it out of him.
Mark Twain
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.
Mark Twain
when you recollect something which belonged in an earlier chapter, do not go back, but jam it in where you are . Discursiveness does not hurt an autobiography in the least.
Mark Twain
Love is an irreresisistible desire to be irresistibily desired.
Mark Twain
A home without a cat — and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat — may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?
Mark Twain
There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn bad morals to good it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones it can lift men to angelship.
Mark Twain
How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.
Mark Twain
No man that has ever lived has done a thing to please God--primarily. It was done to please himself, then God next.
Mark Twain
The calamity that comes is never the one we had prepared ourselves for.
Mark Twain
