Can it be possible that the painters make John the Baptist a Spaniard in Madrid and an Irishman in Dublin?

It is a wise child that knows its own father, and an unusual one that unreservedly approves of him.

The first half of my life I went to school, the second half of my life I got an education.

The waves most washed me off the raft sometimes, but I hadn't any clothes on, and didn't mind.

Some authorities hold that the young ought not to lie at all. That, of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary; still, while I cannot go quite so far as that, I do maintain, and I believe I am right, that the young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance and precision which alone can make the accomplishment graceful and profitable.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

My father and I were always o...

My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy--a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us--which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.

Slang in a woman's mouth is not obscene, it only sounds so.

Thanksgiving Day - Let all give humble, hearty, and sincere thanks, now, but the turkeys. In the island of Fiji they do not use turkeys, they use plumbers. It does not become you and me to sneer at Fiji.

If you've got a nice fresh corpse, fetch him out!

You may call a jay a bird. We...

You may call a jay a bird. Well, so he is, in a measure--because he's got feathers on him, and don't belong to no church, perhaps;but otherwise he is just as much a human as you be. And I'll tell you for why. A jay's gifts and instincts, and feelings, and interests, cover the whole ground. A jay hasn't got any more principle than a Congressman.

Golden rule: Made of hard metal so it could stand severe wear, it not being known at that time that butter would answer.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

If your mother tells you to d...

If your mother tells you to do a thing, it is wrong to reply that you won't. It is better and more becoming to intimate that you will do as she bids you, and then afterwards act quietly in the matter according to the dictates of your better judgment.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

Whenever you find yourself on...

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for certain that just ain't true." Thinking that you know the future.

Mark Twain 2884 quotes

You have heretofore found out, by my teachings, that man is a fool; you are now aware that woman is a damned fool.

In writing, I shall always confine myself strictly to the truth, except when it is attended with inconvenience.
