More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain
To be, or not to be that is the bare bodkin That makes calamity of so long life.
Mark Twain
Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
Mark Twain
There are some few people I respect and admire, but I don't think much of the species.
Mark Twain
Shut the door not that it lets in the cold but that it lets out the coziness.
Mark Twain
While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.
Mark Twain
It is easier for a cannibal to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the eye of a rich man's needle that it is for any other foreigner to read the terrible German script.
Mark Twain
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
Mark Twain
The old man laughed loud and joyously, shook up the details of his anatomy from head to foot, and ended by saying that such a laugh was money in a man's pocket, because it cut down the doctor's bills like everything.
Mark Twain
