Quotes Thursday - Mark Twain
Hi all,
Yesterday as I was browsing through the tv channels I came across the 2013 Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The prize was presented last November to Carol Burnett but was being re-aired on PBS. On the Kennedy Center web page it states that
Mark Twain authored many American Classics one of which is my personal favorite- 'The Prince and the Pauper'. So today's Quotes of the day are in honor of the great American author and humorist- Mark Twain.
“When I am come to mine own again, I will always honor little children, remembering how that these trusted me and believed me in my time of trouble; whilst they that were older, and thought themselves wiser, mocked at me and held me for a liar.”
― Mark Twain, The Prince and the Pauper
“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
― Mark Twain
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
― Mark Twain
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
― Mark Twain

"The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."
