I don't see any use in having a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing.

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Obscurity and a competenceЂ'that is the life that is best worth living.

The wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

There are those who scoff at the schoolboy, calling him frivolous and shallow: Yet it was the schoolboy who said 'Faith is believing what you know ain't so'.

Never do wrong when people are looking.

Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies.

There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition. There are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it.

Yes, even I am dishonest. Not in many ways, but in some. Forty-one, I think it is.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

All my life I have been honest...

All my life I have been honest-comparatively honest. I could never use money I had not made honestly-I could only lend it.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Every man is wholly honest to himself and to God, but not to any one else.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

No man is straitly honest to any but himself and God.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The insincerity of man-all men are liars, partial or hiders of facts, half tellers of truths, shirks, moral sneaks. When a merely honest man appears he is a comet-his fame is eternal-needs no genius, no talent-mere honesty

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

....honest men are few when it comes to themselves.

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

Except a person be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.

Frankness is a jewel; only the young can afford it.
