He wasn't only a writer though, he was also a source of constant inspiration, a fountain of memorable quotes and a man with an incredible intellect. So when we say we have some words of advice for you from the mouth of Mark Twain, there is a very good reason to listen! 1. Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don t mind, it doesn t matter. 2. Humor is mankind s greatest blessing. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. 3. Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. 4. Don t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. 5. A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. 6. Drag your thoughts away from your troubles by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it. 7. The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. 8. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
