“It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”

“Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”

“When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.”

Twain is known for his many – and often funny – quotes. Here are a few of my favourite tips from him.

. Approve of yourself.

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

2. Your limitations may just be in your mind.

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

3. Lighten up and have some fun.

“Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.”

“Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”

4. Let go of anger.

5. Release yourself from entitlement.

6. If you’re taking a different path, prepare for reactions.

7. Keep you focus steadily on what you want.

8. Don’t focus so much on making yourself feel good.

9. Do want you want to do.
