| When I feel drained, when I feel my emotional reservoir need a refill I scan Mark Twain’s quotes. I LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and I feel the positive energy overwhelming me all over. What A Power Of Word! These are my favorite Mark Twain’s quotes: |

“Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.”
“Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
“Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.”
“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.”
“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.”
“Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.”
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
“”It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
“All generalizations are false, including this one.”
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”
“The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become”
“It is easier to stay out than get out.”
“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often”
“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”
“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain”
“When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear.”
“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work”
“The more you explain it, the more I don’t understand it”
“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
“It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not to deserve them.”
” We have the best government that money can buy.”
And the all time winner is:
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
Practice This - Get Results
- When you feel down, it’s only your interpretation of the world - snap out of it, switch to the better wave on your dial.
“We don’t see the things the way they are. We see things the way WE are.” - Talmud

Life is all about the details.
Katie Byron says,” There are 3 kinds of business. My business, other people’s business and God’s business.” I only need to be in my own!
Awesome quote. Too many people have this entitlement mentality.
I remember watching a video on Jack Canfield, he held up a 100 dollar bill and said who wants it, everyone raised their hand and he just stood until someone finally ran up to him and grabbed it.
Point made.
Seems like it moved you, eh?
Karl,
;)
Right on, I think he’d be an A-List blogger should he live in our times
Tess,
Loved your separation to 3 kind of business.
Actually I wouldn’t mind to stick my nose to 3rd one, I have serious agenda for Him (Her?)
tom,
BOOM! What a kick w/this Jack guy! Off to watch the video. Is it on YouTube?
Melissa,
His sense of humor don’t just make me laugh, it seriously moves me and make me re-think things, and act differently.
Great quotes from Mark Twain, so many great ones here. My Favorite is, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” It might have something to do with me being tiny. LOL

Imperfect Action is better than No Action
Mark Twain was certainly a genius. He’s one of the few to come out of Missouri. lol.
After reading your blog for awhile I am not surprised you picked this on. It fits your entrepreneurish spirit

Gets feet back on the ground - LOL.
