More quotes by Mark Twain
Travel is lethal to prejudice.
Mark Twain
If you are with the quality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy - if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you will itch all over in upwards of a thousand places.
Mark Twain
Not until you become a stranger to yourself will you be able to make acquaintance with the Friend.
Mark Twain
If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we need only observe it in election times.
Mark Twain
Armor is heavy, yet it is a proud burden, and a man standeth straight in it.
Mark Twain
Indecency, vulgarity, obscenity - these are strictly confined to man he invented them. Among the higher animals there is no trace of them. They hide nothing. They are not ashamed.
Mark Twain
You need not expect to get your book right the first time. Go to work and revamp or rewrite it. God only exhibits his thunder and lightning at intervals, and so they always command attention. These are God's adjectives. You thunder and lightning too much the reader ceases to get under the bed, by and by.
Mark Twain
I have too much respect for the truth to drag it out on every trifling occasion.
Mark Twain
It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise.
Mark Twain
What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
Mark Twain
The funniest things are the forbidden.
Mark Twain
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
Such is professional jealousy a scientist will never show any kindness for a theory which he did not start himself.
Mark Twain
Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.
Mark Twain
You can't throw too much style into a miracle.
Mark Twain
A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
Mark Twain
In my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.
Mark Twain
The Mississippi River will always have its own way no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise.
Mark Twain
The way it is now, the asylums can hold the sane people, but if we tried to shut up the insane we should run out of building materials.
Mark Twain
If I'd seen a playwright ever write an' play at the same time, I'd have given 'em more of a chance at cards. Can I get an 'amen?'
Mark Twain
