My life's inspiration...........Mark Twain's Pearls of Wisdom!!!


"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."

"The man who is a pessimist before forty-eight knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little."

"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure."

"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry."

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

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

"Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it is the sickening grammar that they use."

"Man is the only animal who blushes. Or needs to."

"There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought? A vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

 Langhome Clemens aka Mark Twain(1835—1910)
