Twain was a staunchly American writer who used anecdotes and life experience to inspire his writing. For our quote of the day, we’re highlighting one of Twain’s short quotes based on his long life of wisdom that gives advice on what to do to stay positive when you’re feeling down.
Later, Twain became a steamboat pilot, which helped inspire his pen name: Britannica reported that the nautical term “mark twain” means “water that is found to be two fathoms deep” (12 feet deep) because mark means “measure” and “two.” In 1986, Twain was inducted into the National Rivers Hall of Fame for his writing and the fact that he’s “best known for his association with steamboating on the Mississippi," the River Museum reported. “Twain made the Mississippi known to the world, and his inspired genius put the Father of Waters in the center of American lore,” they wrote.

Quote of the Day by Mark Twain

Mark Twain first wrote this quote in a notebook in November 1896.
Other publications have shared the quote, again and again, including 1948’s Mark Twain at Your Fingertips, which is another large collection of Twain’s bits of knowledge. And in 1968, Evan Esar, a “quotation collector,” published 20,000 Quips & Quotes, and modified the quote to: “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.”
Twain was such a prolific writer with so much life experience that it only makes sense that he wrote some good words of wisdom, even if he didn’t publish them himself.
So the next time that you’re feeling depressed or a little unmotivated, “cheer yourself” up by volunteering, helping someone out, talking to a friend in need or visiting your mother who might need some moral support. Mark Twain would approve of your efforts.
