Wisdom Quote by Mark Twain — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I'll not go where there is any of that sort of thing going on, again. It's the sure way, and the only sure way;”

“Always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said.”

“This nation is like all the others that have been spewed upon the earth--ready to shout for any cause that will tickle its vanity or fill its pocket. What a hell of a heaven it will be when they get all these hypocrites assembled there!”

“Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”

“I did not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.”

“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.”

“Non-judgment quiets the internal dialogue, and this opens once again the doorway to creativity.”

“What we have to learn, in both meditation and in life, is to be free of”

“Superficiality is the curse of the modern world.”

“Sometimes I think that wisdoms slip from my mind like drool from the lips of an idiot...”

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

“Authoritarian, paralyzing, circular, occasionally elliptical stock phrases, also jocularly referred to as nuggets of wisdom, are a malignant plague, one of the very worst ever to ravage the earth.”
