One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.
Mark Twain
Such is luck! And such the treatment which honest, good perservance gets so often at the hands of unfair and malicious Nature!
Mark Twain
It is a pity we can't escape from life when we are young.
Mark Twain
Worrying is paying interest on a debt you might not even owe.
Mark Twain
When an honest writer discovers an imposition it is his simple duty to strip it bare and hurl it down from its place of honor, no matter who suffers by it any other course would render him unworthy of the public confidence.

Mark Twain
Well, Ben Rogers, if I was as ignorant as you I wouldn't let on.
Mark Twain
I have tried getting up early, and I have tried getting up late-and the latter agrees with me best.
Mark Twain
One is apt to overestimate beauty when it is rare
Mark Twain
I have too much respect for the truth to drag it out on every trifling occasion.
Mark Twain
By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law.
Mark Twain
I wasn't worth a cent two years ago, and now I owe two million dollars.
Mark Twain
I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.
Mark Twain
Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.
Mark Twain
There isn't any way to libel the human race.
Mark Twain
There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it.
Mark Twain
