About Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the “greatest humorist the United States has produced,”and “the father of American literature”. He also wrote poetry, short stories, essays, and non-fiction.
Twain was in great demand as a featured speaker, performing solo humorous talks similar to modern stand-up comedy. He gave paid talks to many men’s clubs.
Twain’s prediction about his death:
Twain was born two weeks after Halley’s Comet’s closest approach in 1835.
In 1909 he said: I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: “Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together”.
Twain’s prediction was accurate; he died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, one day after the comet’s closest approach to Earth.

My thoughts on these quotes
Mark Twain has so many great quotes that I’m going to put together a selection of my favorites in the future, and I’ve picked out some fun ones for this week. I like the quote about reading or not reading the newspaper, in no case are you truly informed. Saturday’s quote used to really hold true, but today it’s not necessarily so, as nudity has become very popular over the years, both in stage performances by singers, artistic nude photos of celebrities, and in advertising. Fortunately, politicians do not undress. If you find yourself in the majority, stop, you are a unique creature that belongs to a unique minority. Also this “Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.” is great. People often make unnecessary worries and imagine black and bad scenarios of what could all go wrong. In reality, however, it always turns out the way that is best for us. It’s okay to be prepared, but you don’t have to be pessimistic.
These are some of my thoughts on these quotes for this week. I will be happy if you share your thoughts with me in the comments.
