A Bit of Wisdom from Mark Twain

Posted by: thepinetree on 05/17/2023 11:28 AM
Hannibal, Missouri...Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910. Writer of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County that put Calaveras County & also Mark Twain on the map.



"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

"I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

"All good things arrive unto them that wait and don’t die in the meantime."

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear."

"Nothing so needs reforming as other people’s habits."

"The lack of money is the root of all evil."

"To eat is human…to digest‚ divine."

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County ~ By Mark Twain 1835-1910

Posted by: thepinetree on 05/17/2023 11:32 AM
Angels Camp, CA...In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result. I have a lurking suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley is a myth; that my friend never knew such a personage; and that he only conjectured that, if I asked old Wheeler about him, it would remind him of his infamous Jim Smiley, and he would go to work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me. If that was the design, it certainly succeeded.
