Want to enjoy the wit and wisdom of the "greatest humorist the United States has produced?" Need some wise, funny, and timeless quotes with many of the truisms from our everyday lives? Looking for a perfect gift? Then, this is the book for you! Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by the pen name Mark Twain was called "the father of American literature" by William Faulkner. He is not only revered as the quintessential American writer but is also among the most quoted. Mark Twain had something witty and wise to say on just about any topic, and his words resonate surprisingly well today as they did more than a century ago. "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please" sounds as if someone is talking about today's political landscape. But those are what Mark Twain said in 1890! He was a defender of women's rights and believed, "What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce." He was against slavery and commented, "Our Civil War was a blot on our history, but not as great a blot as the buying and selling of Negro souls." He advised people to "keep a tidy soul" and believed that "The secret of getting ahead is getting started!" His wit and wisdom are very pragmatic and easy to understand. In his mind, "Wit, by itself, is of little account. It becomes of moment only when grounded on wisdom" and "Wisdom teaches us that none but birds should go out early, and that not even birds should do it unless they are out of worms!" If you are looking for a highly entertaining and inspiring collection of epigrams and witticisms by America's greatest humorist, then "Mark Twain Quotes of Wit and Wisdom" is 100% for you! Here are what this book will offer you: 365 best quotes of wit and wisdom gathered from Mark Twain's books, letters, lectures, and autobiography A perfect gift for the family, friends, and colleagues An easy book that you just pick up anytime, start anywhere, and always enjoy!

A return to the wit and wisdom of Boris Johnson – Brexiteer, Foreign Secretary, Prime Minister. New and updated edition. 2019 – the year that Boris took on the 'lingering gloomadon-poppers', pledged to steer the UK between the 'Scylla and Charybdis of Corbyn and Farage' and into the calmer waters of political freedom. Of course there was always bound to be 'a bit of plaster coming off the ceilings of Europe's Chanceries'. Harry Mount has updated his edited collection of the Prime Minister's wit and wisdom with three new chapters dealing with Boris's time as Brexiteer-in-chief; Foreign Secretary and 'On the Threshold of Downing Street'. He describes Boris's Brexit campaign, his leadership breakdown in 2016, his ups and downs as Foreign Secretary, his time outside the political establishment, his turbulent private life and how Boris felt it was his manifest destiny to become the Prime Minister. So buckle up for a riotous tour of the million-pound NHS funder, golden wonder, pro-having, pro-eating blond behemoth. This is the Wit and Wisdom of Boris Johnson.
