Mark Twain's Classic Quotations

I think everyone I know has morality, although I don't like to ask. I know I do. But I would rather teach others morality every day than practice it myself. "Leave morality to others" is my motto. I have finished sending morality. You'll never need it.

The function of moral mind is to tell people the difference between good and bad, and let people choose and do whatever they want. But what benefits can he get from here? He keeps picking, and nine times out of ten he would rather pick the bad ones. There should be no bad things in the world; Without morality, there will be no more bad things. However, people are such immoral animals that they can't see that it is because of morality that they fall to the bottom of biology. Whoever has it will fall.

Morality is an acquisition-like music, like a foreign language, like devout poker and paralysis-no one is born with morality

You despicable human beings are like this-always lying, always thinking that you have virtues that you really don't have, but denying that those higher animals have them (in fact, only they have them). Beasts have never done a cruel thing-this is the patent of moral animals. There is nothing wrong with a wild animal calling something beside it to suffer unintentionally, because there is something "wrong" with it. It calls something beside it to suffer, not out of pleasure-only people do it. This is inspired by people's messy moral heart.

There are two kinds of Christian morality, one is private morality and the other is public morality. These two morals are so different and irrelevant that they have nothing to do with each other like archangels and politicians. American citizens abide by Christian morality for 363 days in a year, keeping the perfect nature of the country pure; Then, in the remaining two days, he left Christian private morality at home ... and tried his best to destroy and destroy his faithful and legitimate work for a whole year.

human beings have always had this unique feature: they kept two sets of laws-one private and the other real; A set of public, a set of affectation.

the vast majority of human beings, whether savage or civilized, are kind-hearted and timid people who dare not make people suffer in secret, but they dare not stick to their own opinions in front of a handful of people who specialize in aggression and cruelty.

There are 869 ways to lie, but one of them is strictly forbidden "Don't commit perjury against your neighbor".

I know your race. It is made up of sheep. They are ruled by a few people, and they are rarely or never ruled by many people. They suppressed their feelings and beliefs and followed a small group of people who shouted desperately. Sometimes the shouting person is right, and sometimes it is wrong; But that doesn't matter, everyone is always because you are always and always slaves of a few people. There has never been a country where most people are loyal to any such system.

As long as I create a national superstition, I don't care who makes laws for him or composes songs for him.

what is a "real" civilization? No one can solve this mystery, although everyone has made efforts. Suppose we first find out what is not a real civilization, then remove this part from the total and call the rest a "real" civilization ... Any system is not a real civilization if it has the following conditions: people enslave people, authoritarian governments are unequal, and cruel punishments are almost universal, superstition, ignorance, filth and poverty; On the contrary, a system without the above situation is a real civilization.

the main component of life is not facts and events, but the storm of thoughts, which blows in people's minds all their lives.

Foreigners don't need China people, and China people don't need foreigners. At this point, I always stand with the Boxer Rebellion. Boxers are patriots. They love their own country more than those of other nationalities. I wish them success. The boxer advocated that we should be driven out of their country. I'm also a boxer. Because I also advocate driving them out of our country.

Davis's book didn't circulate in American upper class. But as long as you put on a diving suit and dive, dive, and dive all the way to a densely populated area, where you will always work hard, get hungry and never see the sun, you will find millions of his books. People who have this market are sure to get rich, and bread and butter are firmly in their hands, because these people will never throw it away.

The proud words we use by ourselves are actually not from ourselves. What belongs to us is nothing more than some modifications made according to our temper, personality, environment, education and social relations. It's just a few modifications that distinguish it from other people's expressions, which have branded our unique style and temporarily counted it as our own things. Everything else is old junk, a cliche that has been said by generations for thousands of years.

nothing in the world is as provocative as a beautiful speech, which can make the nervous organs of those who are not familiar with the tricks and magic of the speech dizzy, overthrow their beliefs and ruin their feelings.

Although public opinion has formidable power, it is created by a group of ignorant and complacent fools. I know hundreds of journalists, most of whose personal opinions are worthless, but when they speak in the newspaper, it becomes the opinion of the newspaper, so their words become thunderous predictions that shock the society.

my personal experience tells me that journalists like to lie. I myself have made a vivid lie popular in the Pacific coast; Today, this kind of lie is still popular in the local area.

it is meaningless to force an opinion when there is no evidence to form an opinion. If you make a man without bones, he may look lifelike at first glance, but he can't stand up limply; ..... Evidence is the bone of opinion. Quotations from Mark Twain's philosophy of success

1. Ignorance and confidence-a successful combination

"If you want to succeed, then you need ignorance and confidence."

You need to be ignorant enough to believe that the impossible is possible and confident enough to turn the impossible into reality. The Wright brothers are ignorant enough to think that people can fly, but confident enough to let this idea happen. Napoleon Hill once said, "What you can think of can be achieved". Ignorance and self-confidence can really be called a successful combination.

2. Readers are leaders

"People who don't read good books are no better than those who can't read good books."

Plato once said, "Take time to read other people's writings to improve yourself, so that you can easily reap the fruits of others' hard work." Do you realize that you can learn what others have learned in 2 years by reading a book and then spending three hours? By reading, you can really gain the wisdom, knowledge and truth of others. Learn to discover the joy of reading.

3. Do the important things first

"Don't put off till tomorrow what you will do the day after tomorrow."

it is very important to do the important things first. Don't rush about and forget the most important thing. You have to keep asking yourself, "Do you have to do this now?" "Is this the most effective use of time?" "Does this matter have anything to do with my goal?" Learn to distinguish between production efficiency and progress at all times.

4. Fighting

"What matters in a battle is not the size of two dogs, but the intensity of their fighting."

how much "fighting" do you have in your heart? Doing something that has never been done requires a lot of psychological struggle, fearless courage and persistent perseverance. Have you done enough psychological struggle for the game? Remember that the winner of the game is not the agile person, and the winner of the war is not the strong person, but the one who persists to the end.

5. The power of planning

"It usually takes me three weeks to prepare an impromptu speech."

that's what I call a plan! Never underestimate its power. Good planning is half the battle. Success or failure often depends on whether there is a feasible plan (even if it is for an impromptu speech).

For example, if you find that a person is always in high spirits, you will find that he has a diet plan. They know the exact amount of carbohydrates to eat on Tuesday, and they also know how many grams of protein to eat on Friday.

do you have a plan? What kind of plan you have determines what kind of achievement you have achieved.

a planned life is a fruitful life.

6. The brave are invincible

"Courage is used to resist and control fear, not to make people fearless."

I love this famous saying. Have you got your fears under control? Are you doing what they say is impossible? Are you facing your fear and overcoming it? Life is so short that it is a pity to let it slip away from illusion in vain. Twain said, "Twenty years from now, what you didn't do will be far more disappointing than what you did. So throw off the sail lock, set sail from a safe harbor, seize your trade wind, explore, dream and discover. "

7. Recognize your talent

"Thousands of geniuses came to the world once and were buried, some because of others, some because of themselves."

everyone is born with a gift, but only a few people have discovered it. Everyone is born with a talent, but the process of life will detract from that talent.

Learn to discover your talent. You will do something better than others. Find it and pursue it, and we will call you a genius.
