More quotes by Mark Twain
Last week, I stated this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister, and now wish to withdraw that statement.
Mark Twain
I speak French with timidity, and not flowingly--except when excited. When using that language I have often noticed that I have hardly ever been mistaken for a Frenchman, except, perhaps, by horses never, I believe, by people.
Mark Twain
You may have noticed that the less I know about a subject the more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it.
Mark Twain
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.
Mark Twain
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
When the time comes that a man has had his dinner, then the true man comes to the surface
Mark Twain
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
Mark Twain
It takes me a long time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog.
Mark Twain
I have been an author for 20 years and an ass for 55.
Mark Twain
We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.
Mark Twain
The fear of lightning is one of the most distressing infirmities a human being can be afflicted with. It is mostly confined to women, but now and then you find it in a little dog, and sometimes a man.
Mark Twain
Honor is a harder master than the law.
Mark Twain
Of course, no man is entirely in his right mind at any time.
Mark Twain
We called him Barney for short. We couldn't use his real name, there wasn't time.
Mark Twain
I'm the only person who has ever found the right way to build an autobiography.
Mark Twain
Only he who has seen better days and lives to see better days again knows their full value.
Mark Twain
But it was ever thus, all through my life: whenever I have diverged from custom and principle and uttered a truth, the rule has been that the hearer hadn't strength of mind enough to believe it.
Mark Twain
Start it at no particular time of your life wander at your free will all over your life talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment drop it the moment its interest threatens to pale.
Mark Twain
A monarch, when good, is entitled to the consideration which we accord to a pirate who keeps Sunday School between crimes when bad, he is entitled to none at all.
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
