Love heightens all senses - except the common.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Unused talents gives you no advantage over someone who has no talent at all.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

We consider that any man who can fiddle all through one of those Virginia Reels without losing his grip may be depended upon in any kind of musical emergency.

I take my only exercise acting as a pallbearer at the funerals of my friends who exercise regularly.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The statesmen will invent che...

The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Thou shalt not commit adultry...

Thou shalt not commit adultry is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.

Distance lends enchantment to the view.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your
country, let men label you as they may.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Every time you stop a school,...

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

There is no God, no universe,...

There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!

It is better to give than receive- especially advice.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Substitute "damn" every time ...

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress.

It's easy to endure adversity -- if it happens to someone else.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Life does not consist mainly,...

Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly ofthe storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

One gains at least two to three times more experience grabbing the tiger by the tail than reading about it in a book.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The unspoken word is capital....

The unspoken word is capital. We can invest it or we can squander it.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.

Ignorance is not, not knowing something. It is knowing what isn't so.
