Good Restful Advice from Mark Twain - Good Night!


"In America, we hurry--which is well; but when the day's work is done, we go on thinking of losses and gains, we plan for the morrow, we even carry our business cares to bed with us, and toss and worry over them when we ought to be restorin...g our racked bodies and brains with sleep. We burn up our energies with these excitements, and either die early or drop into a lean and mean old age at a time of life which they call a man's prime in Europe." - The Innocents Abroad See More

"Most people lead lives of quiet desperation." Henry David Thoreau
