More quotes by Mark Twain
Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
When someone dies, it is like when your house burns down it isn't for years that you realize the full extent of your loss.
Mark Twain
Shut the door not that it lets in the cold but that it lets out the coziness.
Mark Twain
Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?
Mark Twain
Hunger is the handmaid of genius
Mark Twain
Drop this mean and sordid and selfish devotion to the saving of your shabby little souls, and hunt up something to do that's got some dignity to it! Risk your souls! Risk them in good causes then if you lose them, why should you care? Reform!
Mark Twain
I could never learn to like her, except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.
Mark Twain
Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.
Mark Twain
Do one thing every day you don't want to do.
Mark Twain
