An old friend of mine recently posted on LinkedIn about their journey losing a bunch of weight. It’s a dude.

That’s a dumb quote any way you look at it. Like I challenge Mark Twain actually said that it’s so dumb.

I wanna put up a funny anti-work quote, but I care too much about my job. Something like:

"This job is the perfect stepping stone to not fulfilling my dreams" Albert Einstein

Hahahaha

https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/kindne ... ark-twain/
“If the aphorism in question indicates a sentimental, nostalgic, or otherwise optimistic attitude towards humanity, it probably didn’t come from Twain.”

The only quote from twainquotes.com featuring the word “kindness” is, “Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink – under any circumstances”. The quote is from Mark Twain’s Notebook.
