As for the dinosaur - But Noa...

As for the dinosaur - But Noah's conscience was easy; it was not named in his cargo list and he and the boys were not aware that there was such a creature. He said he could not blame himself for not knowing about the dinosaur, because it was an American animal and America had not then been discovered.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

But we are all insane, anyway...

But we are all insane, anyway. Note the mountain-climbers.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The minute we get reconciled ...

The minute we get reconciled to a person, how willing we are to throw aside little needless punctilios and pronounce his name right.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Man is the only creature who ...

Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.

My advice to girls: first, don't smoke - to excess; second, don't drink - to excess; third, don't marry - to excess.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

From the dome of St. Peter's ...

From the dome of St. Peter's one can see every notable object in Rome... He can see a panorama that is varied, extensive, beautiful to the eye, and more illustrious in history than any other in Europe.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

It was the most earnest ambit...

It was the most earnest ambition I ever had....Not that I ever really wanted to be a preacher, but because it never occurred to me that a preacher could be damned. It looked like a safe job.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Heaven is the very last place...

Heaven is the very last place to come to rest and don't you be afraid to bet on that!

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I've come loaded with statistics, for I've noticed that a man can't prove anything without statistics. No man can.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The report of my illness grew...

The report of my illness grew out of his (James Clemens) illness. The report of my death was an exaggeration.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A person who has during all t...

A person who has during all time maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

There is nothing training can...

There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn bad morals to good; it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones; it can lift men to angelship.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

What is there that confers the noblest delight? What is that which swells a man's breast with pride above that which any other experience can bring to him? Discovery!

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Old habits cannot be thrown out the upstairs window. They have to be coaxed downstairs one step at a time.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

If we could imagine such a ma...

If we could imagine such a man, that is a man who could invent the fly and send him out on his mission and furnish him with his orders: Depart into the uttermost corners of the earth and, diligently do your appointed work. Persecute the sick child, settle upon its eyes, its face, its hands, and gnaw and pester and sting, worry and fret and madden the worn and tried mother who watches by the child and humbly prays for mercy and relief with the pathetic faith of the deceived and the unteachable.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A group of men in evening clo...

A group of men in evening clothes looks like a flock of crows, and is just about as inspiring.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

It is plain that there is one...

It is plain that there is one moral law for heaven and another for the earth. The pulpit assures us that wherever we see suffering and sorrow, which we can relieve and do not, we sin, heavily. There was never yet a case of suffering or sorrow which God could not relieve. Does He sin then?

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

My axiom is, to succeed in bu...

My axiom is, to succeed in business: avoid my example.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The existing phrasebooks are ...

The existing phrasebooks are inadequate. They are well enough as far as they go, but when you fall down and skin your leg they don't tell you what to say.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

A man who carries a cat by th...

A man who carries a cat by the tail is getting experience that will always be helpful. He isn't likely to grow dim or doubtful. Chances are, he isn't likely to carry the cat that way again, either. But if he wants to, I say let him!
