Quote by Mark Twain

Do not undervalue the headache. While it is at its sharpest it seems a bad investment; but when relief begins, the unexpired remainder is worth $4 a minute.

Do not undervalue the headache. While it is at its sharpest

Summary

This quote suggests that we should not underestimate the value of a headache. In the midst of experiencing intense pain, it may seem like a burden and not worth anything. However, as soon as the pain starts to subside and relief begins, the remaining time without the headache becomes incredibly valuable. The quote indicates that the psychological and physical relief obtained from being free of the pain is so precious that it is worth $4 per minute. It emphasizes the importance of appreciating and valuing the moments of relief and freedom from suffering.
