Often the surest way to convey misinformation is to tell the strict truth.

I like the truth sometimes, but I don't care enough for it to hanker after it.

Never learn to do anything: if you don't learn, you'll always find someone else to do it for you.

Let us be grateful to Adam: he cut us out of the blessing of idleness and won for us the curse of labor.

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 2884 quotes

The bane of Americans is overwork-and the ruin of any work is a divided interest. Concentrate-concentrate. One thing at a time.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

In America, we hurry-which is ...

In America, we hurry-which is well; but when the day's work is done, we go on thinking of losses and gains, we plan for the morrow, we even carry our business cares to bed with us...we burn up our energies with these excitements, and either die early or drop into a lean and mean old age at a time of life which they call a man's prime in Europe...What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges!

What ought to be done to the man who invented the celebrating of anniversaries? Mere killing would be too light.

The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy with the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.

I had longed to be a butterfly...

I had longed to be a butterfly, and I was one at last. I attended private parties in sumptuous evening dress, simpered and aired my graces like a born beau, and polkaed and schoisched with a step peculiar to myself - and the kangaroo.

July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Eight grown Americans out of t...

Eight grown Americans out of ten dread the coming of the Fourth, with its pandemonium and its perils, and they rejoice when it is gone-if still alive.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The business aspects of the Fourth of July is not perfect as it stands. See what it costs us every year with loss of life, the crippling of thousands with its fireworks, and the burning down of property. It is not only sacred to patriotism and universal freedom, but to the surgeon, the undertaker, the insurance offices - and they are working it for all it is worth.

I've seen many troubles in my time, only half of which ever came true.

Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to good use.

There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever.

It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a man who, not being able to find any other fault with his coal, complained that there were too many prehistoric toads in it.

Prediction is difficult- particularly when it involves the future.
