"It is the little inconveniences that make the real comfort of life" I might be interpreting this too literally, but I had a really rough upbringing and have come out of it really stable and haven't had to struggle for a while. So a few days ago, I was driving and ran over a bolt that punctured my tire, about 10 to 15 miles from home, it pops out and my tire is completely deflated in the rain on the side of a dirt road. So after about 10 minutes of moping, I get out in the rain with the spare and lift kit, change it with the ground slowly sinking below the jack and drive home. Then repaired the tire and went back to work the next day. In a weird way, it was kinda fun having to suck it up and be uncomfortable again

[@gaetanomontante5161]

I am a near octogenarian. I have always had difficulty reading Twain, except for his novels. I find myself reading him like a car with a missing-valves engine, always coughing, stopping and going until the moment I stop altogether...to get momentarily to something else and then never coming back. Not to the same place I was before, anyway. But of all my "philosophical" somersaults, from reading him, the most difficult part was that I never put them down, ensuring that I forgot about them, for better or for worse, the moment I turned my eyes and attention to something else. Something more "practical" or more "contemporary". Now that I am close to call curtains, I become aware that this is my eternal regret. I had a life to live worthy of being called life and never seemed to see the moment to plant a stake in the ground, tie myself to it, and give myself the moral imperative (No! Scrap the fork out of "moral", as it is exactly what Mark himself would warn me against!) to observe the firmament from sunrise to sunset, and then forward to the next sunrise, and leave signs on that firmament that my wisps of life had cleared my Soul as I turned around the Sun.

[@Stall-FedCalves]

This quote captures how Adam idolized Eve over God.

That was a FINE introduction. True, these wise minds make a contribution that's ever lasting, and one certainly benefits from listening to them. Agreeing or disagreeing, then depends on our Free Will, but their seeds do get scattered into our field of thought.

"a truth is not hard to kill...a lie told well is immortal" this is so true and big part of my life already. All the idiots around me are full of shit and theyre heard and never forgotten but the truth and facts disappear quickly.

I highly recommend reading HUCK FINN if you haven't already. If you haven't in years, take another look. Sam Clemens understood life completely. He understood the human race, which hasn't changed much.

the more I learn about people the more I like my dog.

[@geoffgeoff3333]

Having a dog in your life a couple of times may make fond memories; having a life-long string of dogs is a sign of missed memories.

[@cheri238]

I love animals and have taken in many strays on my farm for the last 25 years, as I did as a small child. It takes time to work with animals and to learn their nature, for many had been abandoned and abused by other people. I still have 22 dogs as many throughout the years till a tender old age. Many cats also. It takes time to work with animals. Animals can teach one about unconditional love that many people can't comprehend. ❤

[@emergenciayongco3918]

I really enjoyed Mark Twain’s sayings. Some i’m trying to adopt for myself. 😊

According to the description, the narration is not AI/TTS, but a real human being. I wish Mr. Twain had a quote for this. ❤

If you don't regret your past at all that means you believe you lived your entire life perfectly

[@ArthurBrooklyn]

Or that you are not capable of regret.

[@l-74]

No one is perfect in this world.

[@jamesredman1263]

No. It means you see regretting the past as futile.

4:08 "When I was a boy of 15..." Twain seemed like an ironic old man! But now his quotes are witty and insightful. (Imagine understanding that already at the age of 21.)

I have lived by owning up to fault frankly since i read that as a teen. Wise words for sure.

[@things4thought]

I always thought his writing style was a bit too sardonic and willing to laugh at anything and everything...but when he really sharpens his psychological instinct, there are few thinkers who can match his great insights 👌

"...never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference..." (wOw)...I am so glad it was put in words because that's what I truly believe and have for a long time. I'd rather be thought of as weak, to avoid a useless confrontation, than to be known as dead right. Ppl can try to kill your character and that would enough for most of them.

[@asimplelifesjourney4026]

Nice to listen to Mark Twain’s mottoes I personally think it helps reflecting the life’s préception in past era. However, I like and agreed with approximately 75 % of them I would say . It was interesting and thanks for sharing.

[@xavierfelix2567]

Markie boy spoke words of social idioms evident in American society. Plain simple known common sense spoken with flair. His love of liquor and cigars loosed his tongue without engaging his brain, thus creating humor. Wisdom is not to be "harnessed" onto a person's character on the basis of comedic phrases.
