Mark Twain's social commentary was as friendly as it was poignant. This treasury contains his witticisms about the: Enigmas of lifeImportance of educationDelights (and annoyances) of travelAbsurdity of politicsDouble standards of societyJoys of loveLudicrousness of agingAnd much more Following a short biography and timeline of his life, the quotes include such wisdom as: When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.--Mark Twain's Autobiography One of the striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives. --Pudd'nhead Wilson The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. --Mark Twain's Notebook It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. --Mark Twain's Notebook What is human life?
