“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Quote by -Mark Twain

Quote by -Mark Twain
Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my lifelong keeping. You cannot see its waves as they flow toward you, darling, but in these lines you will hear...the distant beating of its surf.
Quote by -Mark Twain
Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality
Quote by -Mark Twain
What do we call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, forgiveness? Different results of the master impulse, the necessity of securing one's self-approval.

Quote by -Mark Twain
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.
Quote by -Mark Twain
You can't reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and thumps about things which the intellect scorns.
Quote by -Mark Twain
Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes-none knows whence-and cannot explain itself.

Quote by -Mark Twain
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain. during the Following the Equator tour. True love is the only heart disease that is best left to "run on"--the only affection of the heart for which there is no help, and none desired. The course of free love never runs smooth.
Quote by -Mark Twain
“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.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Unconsciously we all have a standard by which we measure other men, and if we examine closely we find that this standard is a very simple one, and is this: we admire them, we envy them, for great qualities we ourselves lack. Hero worship consists in just that. Our heroes are men who do things which we recognize, with regret, and sometimes with a secret shame, that we cannot do. We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“The 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.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.
Quote by -Mark Twain
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“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.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“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.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightening that does the work.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“A person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was gitting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn't ever going to grow dim or doubtful.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
Quote by -Mark Twain
“I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.”
