Mark Twain
Few things are harder to put up with than a good example.
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
It is noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble.
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.
A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.
The man who carries a cat by the tail learns something that can be learned in no other way.
I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.
One of the striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.
There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies.
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
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.
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Your faith is what you believe, not what you know.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
