It is noble to teach oneself; it is still nobler to teach others.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Adam was but human—this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the serpent.

A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors.

Until I came to New Mexico, I never realized how much beauty water adds to a river.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

To be satisfied with what one...

To be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich.

It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart: the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you.

Education that consists in learning things and not the meaning of them is feeding upon the husks and not the corn

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

All the territorial possessio...

All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course-- consist of pilferings from other people's wash. No tribe, howsoever insignificant, and no nation, howsoever mighty occupies a foot of land that was not stolen.

Faith is believing things you know aint true

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The mind that becomes soiled ...

The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean. I know this by my own experience, & to this day I cherish an unappeased bitterness against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old. None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again on this side of the grave.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

To get the right word in the ...

To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself...Anybody can have ideas--the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

In India, 'cold weather' is m...

In India, 'cold weather' is merely a conventional phrase and has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy.

History never repeats itself; at best it sometimes rhymes.

How often we recall with regret that Napoleon once shot at a magazine editor and missed him and killed a publisher. But we remember with charity that his intentions were good.
