Show Mark Twain's Wit Shown in Collection of Aphorisms Being a philosopher, Mark Twain was given to creating aphorisms his diaries published in Cosmopolitan Cosmopoli-tan are full of tiiem. For example: Grief can bike care of Itself, but to get the full value of Joy you must have somebody to divide it with. Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else. This Is not advice, it Is merely custom. A man should not be without morals; it Is better to have bad morals than nono at all My books are water, those of the great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water. It takes me a long time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog. It is not best that we nse our morals week days. It gets them out of repair for Sundays. The man who Is a pessimist before be-fore 48 knows too much ; If be Is an optimist after It, be knows too little. Good breeding consists In concealing con-cealing how much we think of ourselves our-selves and how little we think of the other person. |
