More quotes by Mark Twain
We despise no source that can pay us a pleasing attention.
Mark Twain
It is better to support schools than jails.
Mark Twain
There are too many stars in some places and not enough in others.
Mark Twain
In forgiving, people are not being asked to forget. On the contrary, it is important to remember, so that we should not let such atrocities happen again. Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence.
Mark Twain
I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
Mark Twain
I am living a new and exalted life of late. It steeps me in a sacred rapture to see a portrait develop and take soul under my hand. First, I throw off a study - just a mere study, a few apparently random lines - and to look at it you would hardly ever suspect who it was going to be even I cannot tell, myself.
Mark Twain
it is not wise to keep the fire going under a slander unless you can get some large advantage out of keeping it alive. Few slanders can stand the wear of silence.
Mark Twain
Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of [Muslim] rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound.
Mark Twain
There will never be a perfect time to quit smoking. A time when you don't have any distractions or stress... If you had started today one year ago, this would not even be an issue for you today! Don't waste another year!
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
I have spent most of my time worrying about things that have never happened. Worrying is not an action! In fact, it is action that alleviates concern and dissipates worries. Take more actions when you feel that worry is creeping in to steal your time. It need not be a huge action, any action in the direction you want to go will do.
Mark Twain
The only people who should use the possessive 'we' are kings, newspaper editors, and persons with tapeworms.
Mark Twain
It is better to give than receive- especially advice.
Mark Twain
One learns peoples through the heart, not the eyes or the intellect.
Mark Twain
Every man is a moon and has a side which he turns toward nobody: you have to slip around behind it if you want to see it.
Mark Twain
Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it.
Mark Twain
When you ascend the hill of prosperity, may you not meet a friend.
Mark Twain
The sole impulse which dictates and compels a man's every act: the imperious necessity of securing his own approval, in every emergency and at all costs.... It is our only spur, our whip, our goad, our impelling power we have no other.
Mark Twain
I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.
Mark Twain
I am content to be a bric-a-bracker and a Ceramiker.
Mark Twain
