Man was made at the end of a week's work, when god was tired
Mark Twain
Mark Twain’s real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, and he was born in 1835. Haley’s comet was visible in the sky on the night he was born and so it was on the night he died, in 1910. He was a novelist, a journalist, a travel and a short story writer and also a successful lecturer, and one of the greatest American writers of all times. He is also famous for his humourous and witty opinions, like the ones you can find by clicking here. Do you agree/disagree with him? Tell us your opinion!
He created great scrapebooks too and has been the inspirations for many films......

I have read all the quotes from Mark Twain, but I want to highlight two:
ReplyDelete•1st Man was made at the end of the week's work, when God was tired.
•2nd What is Man? Man is a noisome bacillus whom Our Heavenly Father created because he was disappointed in the monkey.
Opinion:
I don´t think so. I do not agree with any of the quotes from Mark Twain.
I have read a lot of quotations, and I have to say that I agree with most of them, so I have had a problem to choose a quotation I don't agree with.
ReplyDelete-"Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes-none know whence-and cannot explain itself": I agree with it. I think love is something that you cannot plan and you cannot explain either. And in my opinion love doesn't come a particular day, it isn't written when it will come, it just comes when you see the perfect person for you.
-"Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life": I not agree with it, well I not agree with part of it, because good friends and good books it's a great life, but there is somethings mising, such us music, sport and going to the beach. And I'm not sure if having a sleepy conscience is good, because we learn from mistakes and if we haven't got a conscience we cannot think about what we have done.

ReplyDeleteI have read the quotes from Mark Twain and I want to highlight two of them:
-"THE ONLY VERY MARKED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AVERAGE CIVILIZED MAN AND THE AVERAGE SAVAGE IS THAT THE ONE IS GILGED AND THE OTHER IS PAINTED".
I agree with this opinion because sometimes we are like savages when we do things without thinking. I think this is a very wise opinion about humans, but only in some cases.
-"IT IS A SOLEMN THOUGHT: DIED, THE NOBLEST MAN´S MEAT IS INFERIOR TO PORK".
I don´t agree with him, because I think that these words about humans are too hard. I also think that people´s ideas and personalities are very different and some people are sometimes like pigs, but anyway I don´t agree with this opinion.
I have read all of these quotations, and I have to say that they are really good,although I also have to say that there are some of them that I don´t agree with, for example:
ReplyDelete- " We´re nothing but a ragbag of dissapeared ancestors": I don´t agree with this one, I don´t think so, we´re not dust on the floor, we can experience things, we´re people with feelings and emotions, people who can think what is wrong or what is right, about the future... people with the ability of thinking. But I also have to say that there are others that I really like, for example:
- " Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes... none knows whence... and cannot explain itself" : I agree with this one, because it´s true that love comes any moment and you can feel love for any person. I think that all of our lives and future is written, but we don´t really know it, we must find out little by little.
I have read the Mark Twain's quotations and I want to highlight two of them:
ReplyDelete•"If you pick up a starving dog and make his prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."
-I agree with this quotation because sometimes you help somebody and then this person is ungrateful with you.
•"If a man had created man he would be ashamed of his performance."
-I disagree with this quotation because human beings know that we do bad things in life but also we do very good things and we don't have to be ashamed of ourselves.
