He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Hardly a man in the world has ...

Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self-Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Public opinion is held in reverence. It settles everything. Some think it is the voice of God.

Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

In forgiving, people are not b...

In forgiving, people are not being asked to forget. On the contrary, it is important to remember, so that we should not let such atrocities happen again. Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

It will take mind and memory months and possibly years to gather together the details, and thus learn and know the whole extent of the loss.

That is a simple rule, and easy to remember. When I, a thoughtful and unblessed Presbyterian, examine the Koran, I know that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane; not in all things, but in religious matters.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

If we should deal out justice ...

If we should deal out justice only, in this world, who would escape? No, it is better to be generous, and in the end more profitable, for it gains gratitude for us, and love.

Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great wealth.

The proverb says, 'Born lucky...

The proverb says, 'Born lucky, always lucky,' and I am very superstitious. As a small boy I was notoriously lucky. It was usual for one or two of our lads (per annum) to get drowned in the Mississippi or in Bear Creek, but I was pulled out in a 2/3 drowned condition 9 times before I learned to swim, and was considered to be a cat in disguise.

It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly succeed when the informed and the experienced fail.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Such is luck! And such the treatment which honest, good perservance gets so often at the hands of unfair and malicious Nature!

They do say that when a man starts down hill everybody is ready to help him with a kick, and I suppose it is so.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A dollar picked up in the road...

A dollar picked up in the road is more satisfaction to you than the ninety-and -nine which you had to work for, and money won at faro or in stock snuggles into your heart in the same way.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

All people have had ill luck, ...

All people have had ill luck, but Jairus's daughter and Lazarus had the worst.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Indeed, none but the Deity can tell what is good luck and what is bad before the returns are all in.

It is best to read the weather forecast before praying for rain.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The vast majority of the race ...

The vast majority of the race whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind at heart and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves.
