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

A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

I have never heard enough cla...

I have never heard enough classical music to be able to enjoy it; & the simple truth is, I detest it. Not mildly, but will all my heart. To me an opera is the very climax & cap-stone of the absurd, the fantastic the unjustifiable. I hate the very name of opera - partly because of the nights of suffering I have endured in its presence, & partly because I want to love it and can't.

We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.

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!

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.

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

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

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?

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

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.

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

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

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

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.

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 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.

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

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.
