As a rule, we go about with masks, we go about looking honest, and we are able to conceal ourselves all through the day.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

History may not repeat, but i...

History may not repeat, but it often rhymes.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We like to read about rich pe...

We like to read about rich people in the newspapers; the papers know it, and they do their best to keep this appetite liberally fed.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I thoroughly believe that any man who's got anything worthwhile to say will be heard if he only says it often enough.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

When you catch an adjective, ...

When you catch an adjective, kill it - perhaps the best possible advice for budding writers.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We can't always have the beau...

We can't always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

When one has tasted watermelo...

When one has tasted watermelons, one knows what angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

It is the will of God that we...

It is the will of God that we must have critics and missionaries and congressmen and humorists, and we must bear the burden

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

It is an important thing, in ...

It is an important thing, in our never-ending pursuit of happiness, to stop and just be happy for a while.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

No child should be permitted ...

No child should be permitted to grow up without exercise for imagination. It enriches life for him. It makes things wonderful and beautiful.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

But the people cannot have we...

But the people cannot have wells, and so they take rain-water. Neither can they conveniently have cellars or graves, the town being built upon "made ground"; so they do without both, and few of the living complain, and none of the others.

I was born with Halley's Comet and I expect to die upon its return

You ought never to sass old people- unless they sass you first.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Would it not be prudent to ge...

Would it not be prudent to get our civilization tools together, and see how much stock is left on hand in the way of Glass Beads and Theology, and Maxim Guns and Hymn Books, and Trade Gin and Torches of Progress and Enlightenment (patent adjustable ones, good to fire villages with, upon occasion), and balance the books, and arrive at the profit and loss, so that we may intelligently decide whether to continue the business or sellout the property and start a new Civilization Scheme on the proceeds.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Frankenstein took some flesh ...

Frankenstein took some flesh and bones and blood and made a man out of them; the man ran away and fell to raping and robbing and murdering everywhere, and Frankenstein was horrified and in despair, and said, I made him, without asking his consent, and it makes me responsible for every crime he commits. I am the criminal, he is innocent.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Twenty-four years ago I was s...

Twenty-four years ago I was strangely handsome; in San Francisco in the rainy season I was often mistaken for fair weather.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The community is eminently Po...

The community is eminently Portuguese - that is to say, it is slow, poor, shiftless, sleepy, and lazy.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We all know about the habits ...

We all know about the habits of the ant, we know all about the habits of the bee, but we know nothing at all about the habits of the oyster. It seems almost certain that we have been choosing the wrong time for studying the oyster.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

As to the human race. There a...

As to the human race. There are many pretty and winning things about the human race. It is perhaps the poorest of all the inventions of all the gods but it has never suspected it once. There is nothing prettier than its naive and complacent appreciation of itself. It comes out frankly and proclaims without bashfulness or any sign of a blush that it is the noblest work of God. It has had a billion opportunities to know better, but all signs fail with this ass. I could say harsh things about it but I cannot bring myself to do it-it is like hitting a child.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Women cannot receive even the...

Women cannot receive even the most palpably judicious suggestion without arguing it; that is, married women.
