More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but the fly comes close.
Mark Twain
The exercise of an extraordinary gift is the supremest pleasure in life.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
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.

Mark Twain
God was left out of the Constitution, but was furnished a front seat in this nations currency. (In God we Trust) is a lie, this nations trust has always been with the dollar.
Mark Twain
Pity is for the living, envy is for the dead. Death, the refuge, the solace, the best and kindliest and most prized friend and benefactor of the erring, the forsaken, the old and weary and broken of heart.
Mark Twain
Tough times teach trust.
Mark Twain
What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
Mark Twain
It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing through one's head.
Mark Twain
A woman springs a sudden reproach upon you which provokes a hot retort, and then she will presently ask you to apologize.
Mark Twain
The less a man knows the bigger the noise he makes and the higher the salary he commands.
Mark Twain
A discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.
Mark Twain
