Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
Mark Twain
Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.
Mark Twain
The very ink in which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.
Mark Twain
Intellectual "work" is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward.
Mark Twain
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.
Mark Twain
The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little.
Mark Twain
There it is: it doesn't make any difference who we are or what we are, there's always somebody to look down on! somebody to hold in light esteem, somebody to be indifferent about.
Mark Twain
A crime persevered in a thousand centuries ceases to be a crime, and becomes a virtue. This is the law of custom, and custom supersedes all other forms of law.
Mark Twain
In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made School Boards.
Mark Twain
There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one: keep from telling their happinesses to the unhappy.
Mark Twain
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered-either by themselves or by others.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Mark Twain
Do not undervalue the headache. While it is at its sharpest it seems a bad investment; but when relief begins, the unexpired remainder is worth $4 a minute.
Mark Twain
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist, except an old optimist.
Mark Twain
Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.
