Had double chins all the way down to his stomach.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

His ignorance covers the world...

His ignorance covers the world like a blanket, and there's scarcely a hole in it anywhere.

He was a solemn, unsmiling, sanctimonious old iceberg who looked like he was waiting for a vacancy in the Trinity.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

You take the lies out of him, ...

You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I could never learn to like he...

I could never learn to like her, except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but the fly comes close.

The church is always trying to get other people to reform, it might not be a bad idea to reform itself a little, by way of example

Irrevence is another person's disrespect to your god; there isn't any word that tells what your disrespect to his god is.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Concentration of power in a po...

Concentration of power in a political machine is bad; and an Established Church is only a political machine; it was invented for that; it is nursed, cradled, preserved for that; it is an enemy to human liberty, and does no good which it could not better do in a split-up and scattered condition.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I purpose publishing these Letters here in the world before I return to you. Two editions. One, unedited, for Bible readers and their children; the other, expurgated, for persons of refinement

Blasphemy? No, it is not blashphemy. If God is as vast as that, he is above blasphemy; if he is as little as that, He is beneath it.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Surely the ass who invented the first religion ought to be the first ass damned

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We have to keep our God placat...

We have to keep our God placated with prayer, and even then we are never sure of him-how much higher and finer is the Indian's God...Our illogical God is all-powerful in name, but impotent in fact; the Great Spirit is not all-powerful, but does the very best he can for his injun and does it free of charge

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I have never seen what to me seemed an atom of proof that there is a future life. And yet-I am inclined to expect one.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Man is a marvelous curiosity.....

Man is a marvelous curiosity...he thinks he is the Creator's pet...he even believes the Creator loves him; has passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks he listens. Isn't it a quaint idea.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Man is kind enough when he is ...

Man is kind enough when he is not excited by religion

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

If you would beseech a blessin...

If you would beseech a blessing upon yourself, beware! lest without intent you invoke a curse upon a neighbor at the same time.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Our Congresses consist of Christians. In their private life they are true to every obligation of honor; yet in every session they violate them all, and do it without shame. Because honor to party is above honor to themselves.
