Advice From Mark Twain
-
Get your facts first, and then you
can distort them as much as you
please.
-
Be careless in your dress if
you will, but keep a tidy soul.
-
There are several good protections
against temptation, but the surest
is cowardice.
-
Never tell the truth to people
who are not worthy of it.
-
We ought never to do wrong when people are looking.
-
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
-
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
-
All you need to be assured of success in this life is ignorance
and confidence.
-
Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else;
this is not a piece of advice, it is merely a custom.
-
It's a good idea to obey all the rules when you're young just
so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.
-
Let us not be too particular:
It is better to have old secondhand
diamonds than none at all.
-
Do something every day that you don't
want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of
doing your duty without pain.
-
If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it
was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures;
simply watch for your chance and hit him with a brick.
-
Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in
authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to
commit more.
-
There is no use in your walking five
miles to fish when you can depend on
being just as unsuccessful near home.
-
Part of the secret of success in
life is to eat what you like and
let the food fight it out inside.
-
It is better to keep your mouth
shut and appear stupid than to open
it and remove
all doubt.
-
Don't part
with illu-sions. When
they are gone,
you may still
exist, but you
have ceased to live.
-
Be careful to get out of an experience all the wisdom that is in
it; not like the cat that sits down on a hot stove. She will
never sit down on a hot stove lid again...and that is well; but
also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
