Mark Twain

As I went to Google something today, I noticed it was Mark Twain's 176th birthday, so Happy Birthday Mark Twain. If you are reading this and thinking, how does this relate to quotes, don't worry, I will get on to it. As a keen quote reader, I have often discovered many of his quotes online, but never bothered to research who he is. Until now.
Mark Twain, an American writer and lecture was born as Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri in 1835, is better known as his pen name, Mark Twain. He was also a humorist and he is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel." That is basic introduction of Mark Twain, so now I will share with you some of my favourite Mark Twain quotes. 

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter

All generalizations are false, including this one. 

Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint 

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. 

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt 

Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish 

Don't let schooling interfere with your education <- especially true with today's strikes 

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

I could go on and on, but I'll let you find some of your own. For a great writer, he certainly has a great sense of humour!!!  http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mark_twain_2.html
