I can relate to Mark here because obviously my lack of higher education shows up now and then. But I haven’t let that stop me from learning what books don’t teach and what life is really about.
A few Mark Twain Quotes
“‘Classic’–a book which people praise and don’t read.”
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t.”
“The funniest things are forbidden.”
“There are no people who are quite so vulgar as the over-refined.”
" If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything "
“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.”
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
“Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.”

A very talented, even gifted, writer who could teach us many things.
Good morning pb and the rest of you.

Mr Clemens was a brilliant writer. Very thought provoking stuff…I love it.

There you go nothing better than telling the truth 😁 great ones Plum
That "truth thing" was engrained in me as a child and has served me extremely well for going on 68 years now.
As my Grandmother said..."makes life much more easy....you don't even have to remember WHO you told WHAT to..... only one story " !
