If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

One learns peoples through the heart, not the eyes or the intellect.

The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.

But who prays for Satan? Who i...

But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Many people have the reasoning facility, but no one uses it in religious matters.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

There is no other life; life i...

There is no other life; life itself is only a vision and a dream for nothing exists but space and you. If there was an all-powerful God, he would have made all good, and no bad.

A reputable lawyer will advise you to keep out of the law, make the best of a foolish bargain, and not get caught again.

Worrying is paying interest on a debt you might not even owe.

There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I am a great and sublime fool....

I am a great and sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, and all His works must be contemplated with respect.

The Bible has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

To believe yourself brave is to be brave; it is the one only essential thing.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Ah, that shows you the power o...

Ah, that shows you the power of music, that magician of magician, who lifts his wand and says his mysterious word and all things real pass away and the phantoms of your mind walk before you clothed in flesh.

Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.

A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Foreigners cannot enjoy our fo...

Foreigners cannot enjoy our food, I suppose, any more than we can enjoy theirs. It is not strange; for tastes are made, not born. I might glorify my bill of fare until I was tired; but after all, the Scotchman would shake his head and say, 'Where's your haggis?' and the Fijan would sigh and say, 'Where's your missionary?'

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Evolution is a blind giant who...

Evolution is a blind giant who rolls a snowball down a hill. The ball is made of flakes-circumstances. They contribute to the mass without knowing it. They adhere without intention, and without foreseeing what is to result. When they see the result they marvel at the monster ball and wonder how the contriving of it came to be originally thought out and planned. Whereas there was no such planning, there was only a law: the ball once started, all the circumstances that happened to lie in its path would help to build it,

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Very well, then, where do we a...

Very well, then, where do we arrive? Where do we arrive with our respect, our homage, our filial affection? At Adam! At Adam, every time. We can't build a monument to a germ, but we can build one to Adam, who is in the way to turn myth in in fifty years and be entirely forgotten in two hundred. We can build a monument and save his name to the world forever, and we'll do it!

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Jesus died to save men - a sma...

Jesus died to save men - a small thing for an immortal to do - and didn't save many, anyway. But if he had been damned for the race, that would have been act of a size proper to a god, and would have saved the whole race.
