287:In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

288:Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

289:There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

290:The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

291:No one is willing to acknowledge a fault in himself when a more agreeable motive can be found for the estrangement of his acquaintances. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

292:What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

293:A home without a cat — and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat — may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title? ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

294:The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? -it is the same the angels breathe. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

295:The way it is now, the asylums can hold all the sane people but if we tried to shut up the insane we should run out of building materials. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

297: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. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

298:Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

299:If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

300:Most people cannot bear sitting in church for an hour on a Sunday. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar to it for an eternity? ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

301:She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

302: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. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

303:Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it is the sickening grammar that they use. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

305:Describing her first day back in grade school after a long absence a teacher said it was like trying to hold 35 corks under water at the same time. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

306:The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

307:I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

308:If you shamefully misuse a cat once she will always maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward. You will never get her full confidence again. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

309:Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

310:I never made a success of a lecture delivered in a church yet. People are afraid to laugh in a church. They can't be made to do it in any possible way. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

311:When I am king they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books, for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

312:Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

313:There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition; there are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

314:There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

315:The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

316:I thoroughly disapprove of duels; if a man would challenge me I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

317:Warm summer sun, shine kindly here. Warm southern wind, blow softly here. Green sod above, lie light, lie light. Good night, dear Heart, Good night, good night. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

318:In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

319:Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

320:As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

321:It is in the heart that the values lie. I wish I could make him understand that a loving heart is riches, and riches enough, and that without it intellect is poverty. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

323:If we should deal out justice only, in this world, who would escape? No, it is better to be generous, and in the end more profitable, for it gains gratitude for us, and love. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

324:Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

325:I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

326:It is by the goodness of god that in our country we have those 3 unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

327:It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want — oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

328:A new oath holds pretty well; but... when it is become old, and frayed out, and damaged by a dozen annual retryings of its remains, it ceases to be serviceable; any little strain will snap it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

329:It's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

330:A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words in a book or a newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

331:October: This is one of the particularly dangerous months to invest in stocks. Other dangerous months are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

332:I always did hate for anyone to know what my plans or hopes or prospects were—for, if I kept people in ignorance in these matters, no one could be disappointed but myself, if they were not realized. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

333:Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

334:Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

335:From the dome of St. Peter's one can see every notable object in Rome... He can see a panorama that is varied, extensive, beautiful to the eye, and more illustrious in history than any other in Europe. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

336:We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is public opinion. It is held in reverence. Some think it the voice of God. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

337:The public only knows one side of [Mark Mark Twain] - the amusing part. Little does it suspect that he was a man of strong convictions upon political and social questions and a moralist of no mean order. ~ andrew-carnegie, @wisdomtrove

338:The pause-that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence, which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, howsoever felicitous, could accomplish it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

339:To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities, is the basis of the American art, if my position is correct. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

340:I was sorry to have my name mentioned as one of the great authors, because they have a sad habit of dying off. Chaucer is dead, Spencer is dead, so is Milton, so is Shakespeare, and I’m not feeling so well myself. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

341:The rain is famous for falling on the just and unjust alike, but if I had the management of such affairs I would rain softly and sweetly on the just, but if I caught a sample of the unjust out doors I would drown him. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

342:Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness… It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

343:20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the one’s you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

344:Adam was but human&

345:We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

346:Don't you know what that is? It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want&

347:I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

348:Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

349:Let us consider that we are all partially insane. It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

350:No sane man can be happy, for to him life is real, and he sees what a fearful thing it is. Only the mad can be happy, and not many of those. The few that imagine themselves kings or gods are happy, the rest are no happier than the sane. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

351:The sole impulse which dictates and compels a man's every act: the imperious necessity of securing his own approval, in every emergency and at all costs... . It is our only spur, our whip, our goad, our impelling power; we have no other. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

352:The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn't detect. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

353:When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

354:Is not this insanity plea becoming rather common? Is it not so common that the reader confidently expects to see it offered in every criminal case that comes before the courts?... Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

355:Has the trade of interpreting the Lord's matters gone out, discouraged by the time-worn fact that nobody succeeds at it? No, it still flourishes; there was never a century nor a country that was short of experts who knew the Deity's mind and were willing to reveal it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

356:After a few months’ acquaintance with European ‘coffee’ one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with it’s clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

357:It put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us - dreamers and indolent... It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich - these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

358:Man has imagined a heaven, and has left entirely out of it the supremest of all his delights... sexual intercourse!... His heaven is like himself: strange, interesting, astonishing, grotesque. I give you my word, it has not a single feature in it that he actually values. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

359:Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again. Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

360:I'm quite sure that ... I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being&

361:The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. Mark Twain ~ david-allen, @wisdomtrove

362: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. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

363:As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen. ~ ernest-hemingway, @wisdomtrove

364:In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second- hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

365:I have witnessed and greatly enjoyed the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

366:I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream... I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people's tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

367:Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

368:I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it. The pains which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity towards it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

369:I am of course a skeptic about the divinity of Christ and a scorner of the notion that there is a God who cares about how we are or what we do. ... Religious skeptics often become very bitter towards the end, as did Mark Twain. ... I know why I will become bitter. I will finally realize that I have had it right all along: that I will not see God, that there is no heaven or Judgement Day. ~ kurt-vonnegut, @wisdomtrove

370:People who always feel jolly, no matter where they are or what happens to them—who have the organ of hope preposterously developed—who are endowed with an uncongealable sanguine temperament—who never feel concerned about the price of corn—and who cannot, by any possibility, discover any but the bright side of a picture—are very apt to go to extremes, and exaggerate with 40-horse microscopic power. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove

371:I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice. ~ mark-twain, @wisdomtrove
