Here are some more Mark Twain quotes: I love this dude... "Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." --Mark Twain Work like you don't need the money. Dance like no one is watching. And love like you've never been hurt. --Mark Twain When in doubt tell the truth. --Mark Twain It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. --Mark Twain The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd druther not. --Mark Twain We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. --Mark Twain When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded how much he had learned in the last seven years. --Mark Twain I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't. --Mark Twain We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it. --Mark Twain History, although sometimes made up of the few acts of the great, is more often shaped by the many acts of the small. --Mark Twain Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. --Mark Twain Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. --Mark Twain The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. --Mark Twain Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. --Mark Twain Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul. --Mark Twain Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear---not absence of fear. --Mark Twain Don't let school interfere with your education. --Mark Twain Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. --Mark Twain Warm summer sun, shine kindly here; Warm southern wind, blow softly here; Green sod above, lie light, lie light- Good night, dear heart, good-night, good-night. --Mark Twain

TO CLAPTONSGUITAR, i think you should start a thread yourself a la word ball.. here's one for you. THE HOLE The old woman finally caught me Sneakin' round her cave Her hair looked just like barbwire boys And her smile just like the grave She asked me could i stay awhile I said i'd better go She slid her arm around my neck And sweetly whispered no It's cold and dark and lonely here As soon you'll see I'm oh so glad you stumbled in I been cravin' company I cannot stay too long you know I left some friends at home Don't fret about your friends Down here we're all alone What about my mother I can't just leave her there to mourn You don't have to think about her Just forget you were ever born I'll disappoint my father You know he worked so hard for me If you have to pay your father back Just send him some misery I'll miss, I said, a girl I know I can't just leave her there to pine She's still got plenty of men to go I'm sure she'll do just fine What about my little boy She said, he's just like you Let a few short years roll by He'll end up down here too Then her pale green eyes began to glow She placed her hand on mine She smiled and said don't worry You'll get used to me in time As her cold tongue flickered toward my throat I spun myself around Made a dive for the passageway Now her eyes were the only light My fevered brain could see But I tore myself away from them And fell down to my knees I've come too far, I can't get back I beseeched the gods of men Fame and fortune just laughed at me. A whisper deep within Embrace the God of love I lifted my face and through the tears I saw light fall from above I hurled myself into the wall I ripped and clawed my way Through the stinkin', clingin' loam Back to the light of day I crawled out into the wind again The sky upon my face I heard the earth sigh patiently As it slid back into place Now I'm back among the ones I love I'm loved by them in turn And it's only on the darkest night That green eyed memory burns So walk my friends, in the light of day Don't go sneakin' 'round no holes There just might be something down there Wants to gobble up your soul Townes Van Zandt
