The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.

Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.

I am not given to exaggeration, and when I say a thing I mean it.

All I care to know about a man is that he is a human being... he can't be any worse.

Sane and intelligent human beings are like all other human beings, and carefully and cautiously and diligently conceal their private real opinions from the world and give out fictitious ones in their stead for general consumption.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

There are things which some people never attempt during their whole lives, but one of these is not poetry. Poetry attacks all human beings sooner or later, and, like the measles, is mild or violent according to the age of the sufferer.

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Sufficient unto the day is one...

Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot; and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection. - The Babies speech 1879

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The face of the water, in time...

The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.

Learning softeneth the heart and breedeth gentleness and charity.

To me [Edgar Allen Poe's] prose is unreadableЂ'like Jane Austin's [sic]. No there is a difference. I could read his prose on salary, but not Jane's. Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death.

Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

Wilson stopped and stood silent. Inattention dies a quick and sure death when a speaker does that.

We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is public opinion. It is held in reverence. Some think it the voice of God.

It is wiser to find out than to suppose.
