I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.

If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The easy part of being an art...

The easy part of being an artist is figuring out the message that everyone else is ready to hear. The hard part is waiting for the proper lull to make the announcement.

I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The North thinks it knows how...

The North thinks it knows how to make corn bread, but this is a gross superstition. Perhaps no bread in the world is quite as good as Southern corn bread, and perhaps no bread in the world is quite as bad as the Northern imitation of it.

Do not offer a compliment and ask a favor at the same time. A compliment that is charged for is not valuable.

I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me; he can't be any worse.

Architects cannot teach nature anything.

Suppose . . . burglars had ma...

Suppose . . . burglars had made entry into this . . . [library]. Picture them seated here on this floor, pouring the light of their dark-lanterns over some books they found, and thus absorbing moral truths and getting moral uplift. The whole course of their lives would have been changed. As it was, they kept straight on in their immoral way and were sent to jail. For all I know, they may next be sent to Congress.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I am admonished in many ways ...

I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

When someone dies, it is like...

When someone dies, it is like when your house burns down; it isn't for years that you realize the full extent of your loss.

I have too much respect for the truth to drag it out on every trifling occasion.
