  • Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

  • What is it that strikes a spark of humor from a man? It is the effort to throw off, to fight back the burden of grief that is laid on each one of us. In youth we don't feel it, but as we grow to manhood we find the burden on our shoulders. Humor? It is nature's effort to harmonize conditions. The further the pendulum swings out over woe the further it is bound to swing back over mirth.

    Mark Twain, Gary Scharnhorst (2009). “Mainly the truth: interviews with Mark Twain”, University Alabama Press
  • It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

  • Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

    Mark Twain (2015). “Bite-Size Twain: Wit and Wisdom from the Literary Legend”, p.31, St. Martin's Press
  • Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over.

  • It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's.

    Mark Twain (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Mark Twain (Illustrated)”, p.7028, Delphi Classics
  • The old Irish when immersing a babe at baptism left out the right arm so that it would remain pagan for good fighting

  • If the bubble reputation can be obtained only at the cannon's mouth, I am willing to go there for it, provided the cannon is empty. If it is loaded my immortal and inflexible purpose is to get over the fence and go home. My invariable practice in war has been to bring out of every fight two-thirds more men than when I went in. This seems to me Napoleonic in its grandeur.

    Mark Twain (1994). “Tales, Speeches, Essays, and Sketches”, p.146, Penguin
  • The pitifulest thing out is a mob; that's what an army is--a mob; they don't fight with courage that's born in them, but with courage that's borrowed from their mass, and from their officers. But a mob without any MAN at the head of it is BENEATH pitifulness.

    Mark Twain (2015). “Annotated Huckleberry Finn with English Grammar Exercises: by Mark Twain (Author), Robert Powell (Editor)”, p.160, Powell Publications, LLC
  • 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.

  • Man can seldom - very, very, seldom - fight a winning fight against his training; the odds are too heavy.

    Mark Twain, Albert Bigelow Paine (1923). “The Writings of Mark Twain”
  • A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle; ...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence, ...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.

  • Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought -- by force of circumstances, not argument -- to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.

    Mark Twain (2010). “What Is Man?”, p.85, BoD – Books on Demand
  • There was no place in the land where the seeker could not find some small budding sign of pity for the slave. No place in all the land but one - the pulpit. It yielded last; it always does. It fought a strong and stubborn fight, and then did what it always does, joined the procession - at the tail end. Slavery fell. The slavery texts in the Bible remained; the practice changed; that was all.

    Mark Twain, Paul Baender (1973). “What Is Man? and Other Philosophical Writings”, p.74, Univ of California Press
  • Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always with the under dog in the fight -- this is magnanimity; but bet on the other one -- this is business.

    Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Albert Bigelow Paine (2014). “The Mark Twain Autobiography + 3 Biographies: 4 Mark Twain Biographies In 1 Book: Chapters From My Autobiography By Mark Twain + My Mark Twain By William Dean Howells’ + Mark Twain A Biography By Albert Bigelow Paine + The Boys’ Life Of Mark Twain By Albert Bigelow Paine”, p.1036, e-artnow
  • You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does -- but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you'll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it's the sickening grammar they use.
