"If your mother tells you to do..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Most of the things I worried about in life never happened.”

“It takes some little time to accept and realize the fact that while you have been growing old, your friends have not been standing still, in that matter.”

“[Do you worry unnecessarily about the future? Remember most fears are just False Evidence Appearing Real. Don't let unfounded fears rob you of the joys of life or you too will say...] There has been much tragedy in my life; [and] at least half of it actually happened.”

“Keep all ur troubles in ur own pocket. But, make sure that the pocket has a hole!”

“My mom used to tell me that whatever you do, marry someone who loves you more than you love him.”

“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English―it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them―then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice.”

“A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.”

“Disobedience is man's original virtue.”

“That we should obey laws whether good or bad is a new-fangled notion. There was no such thing in former days. The people disregarded those laws they did not like and suffered the penalties for their breach.”
