Quotations by Mark Twain V


In the real world, nothing happens at the right place at the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to correct that.


The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.


Laughter is the greatest weapon we have and we, as humans, use it the least.


The human race has but one really affective weapon, and that is laughter.


Never learn to do anything. If you don't learn, you will always find someone else to do it for you.


A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants.


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


Be good and you will be lonely.


Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.


Both marriage and death ought to be welcome: The one promises happiness, doubtless the other assures it.


Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.
