More quotes by Mark Twain
If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
Mark Twain
Jesus died to save men - a small thing for an immortal to do - and didn't save many, anyway. But if he had been damned for the race, that would have been act of a size proper to a god, and would have saved the whole race.
Mark Twain
I am only human, although I regret it.
Mark Twain
Few things are more irritating than when someone who is wrong is also very effective in making his point.
Mark Twain
Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.
Mark Twain
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.
Mark Twain
It makes one hope and believe that a day will come when, in the eye of the law, literary property will be as sacred as whiskey, or any other of the necessaries of life. It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
Mark Twain
That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.
Mark Twain
America cannot have an empire abroad and a Republic at home.
Mark Twain
Two days overdue, THE WORLD'S WORK has not reached me. Pray make a note of this. I would rather not have to resort to violence.
Mark Twain
Education that consists in learning things and not the meaning of them is feeding upon the husks and not the corn
Mark Twain
The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.
Mark Twain
Experience comes from bad judgment.
Mark Twain
Heaven is by favor if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.
Mark Twain
Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink - under any circumstances.
Mark Twain
In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.
Mark Twain
Never waste a lie you never know when you may need it.
Mark Twain
Tough times teach trust.
Mark Twain
I have stopped smoking now and then, for a few months at a time, but it was not on principle, it was only to show off it was to pulverize those critics who said I was a slave to my habits and couldn't break my bonds.
Mark Twain
Ignorance is not not knowin' - Ignorance is knowin' what ain't so.
Mark Twain
