Mark Twain is a never ending source of wisdom.
This is one of my favorites from the speech he gave on his 70th birthday (http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/railton/onstage/70bday1.html):
I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any. Exercise is loathsome.
The speech is full of gems, like...
I have made it a rule to go to bed when there wasn't anybody left to sit up with; and I have made it a rule to get up when I had to.
and...
In the matter of diet -- which is another main thing -- I have been persistently strict in sticking to the things which didn't agree with me until one or the other of us got the best of it.
and ...
As for drinking, I have no rule about that. When the others drink I like to help, otherwise I remain dry, by habit and preference.
He's probably the most quotable American that has ever lived.
