Mark Twain

I found some Mark Twain quotes I really like...

• Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
  
• I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
  
• Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
  
• Classic- a book which people praise and don't read.
  
• Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.

Some of em' are pretty funny. I found them here, and liked them so much that I thought I would post them here. I think I like the first one the best, though...I wonder how different life would be if that were the case. 70 would be the new 17; you'd have teenagers saying, "Old people, these days...In my day we never would have played shuffleboard dressed so lewdly!" Seriously, though. It's really food for thought. We would learn to appreciate things so much differently if we had to start off decrepit and crippled, without the ability to work. Stereotypes would be completely reversed, and it would be interesting to see how things would evolve. You'd know that everyday would be better than the last. You'd know how long you had to live. But most of all, you'd have the wisdom to realize that life is something to be appreciated, to be lived everyday to the fullest.

"Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of."
- Benjamin Franklin
