One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.

One is apt to overestimate beauty when it is rare

Our Bible reveals to us the ch...

Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness... It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We have not all had the good f...

We have not all had the good fortune to be ladies. We have not all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground.

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.

Prohibition only drives drunkenness behind doors and into dark places, and does not cure it or even diminish it.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

There is no God, no universe, ...

There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!

Always obey your parents - when they are present.

There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happened.

In religion and politics, people's belief's and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination

It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's.

After a few months' acquaintance with European 'coffee' one's mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with it's clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Of all the unchristian beverag...

Of all the unchristian beverages that ever passed my lips, Turkish coffee is the worst. The cup is small, it is smeared with grounds; the coffee is black, thick, unsavory of smell, and execrable in taste. The bottom of the cup has a muddy sediment in it half an inch deep. This goes down your throat, and portions of it lodge by the way, and produce a tickling aggravation that keeps you barking and coughing for an hour.

The average American's simplest and commonest form of breakfast consists of coffee and beefsteak.
