About This Quote

When Mark Twain spoke of three types of people who need to be awakened, he was clearly talking about the importance of education. He considered education as a way to improve one’s worldly condition, which he considered the best form of happiness. He believed that by studying something one gets a better understanding of the world and, in turn, becomes a better person.
