About Mark Twain
Mark Twain (1835–1910), born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, and lecturer widely regarded as the 'father of American literature.' He rose from humble beginnings on the Missouri frontier to become one of the most celebrated and quoted figures in history. His wit, skepticism, and sharp social commentary made him a towering intellectual voice of the 19th century.
Twain believed in radical honesty, the courage to challenge convention, and the power of humor as a lens for truth. He championed the individual's right to think freely and question authority, arguing that wisdom comes from experience and self-examination rather than conformity.
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
