The inimitable Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an iconic author who was as well known for his pithy quotes and memorable speeches as he was for his now-classic novels. The man had a wicked sense of humor, but there was a lot of value hiding in those funny extracts.
This collection of Mark Twain quotes presents the best of the curmudgeonly writer's thoughts on diet, exercise, medicine,, smoking, drinking, romance, parenting, old age, fashion, finances, politics and stress management. Curated by a well-known Twain expert and mining lesser-known texts, speeches and notebooks; it's the perfect gift for anyone who has had enough of Gwyneth's self-righteous advice and the ramblings of the blogosphere.
