Mark Twain’s “Where The Smiles Have Been” Quote: FREE Printable (3 Versions)!

I recently gave a tutorial on how to create your own chalkboard poster on a Mac without needing any fancy programs like Photoshop.  You can do it all in Preview!  Yep, super simple, I know.  Well, in making that tutorial, I used a great quote from Mark Twain (that also not so coincidentally serves as the inspiration behind this blog’s name), and I decided to share the chalkboard posters here as free printables….all three versions of them!

I love this quote!

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been. -Mark Twain

Like I explain on my ‘About Me’ page, I just love this quote because it encourages staying on the positive side of life and looking at the bright side of things.  You can view the wrinkles in your life (both the literal and figurative ones) as blemishes or negatives, or you can put on those rose-colored glasses and remember why you have them….because that’s where your smiles have been.  You can’t have wrinkles without first having smiles, and lots of them. :)
