Ernest Hemingway was a man of complex character. He was an influential writer and a war correspondent; but the many movies and novels that try to make sense of his life also paint him as a boozy, self-absorbed womanizer. Whatever he was, one thing is for sure - Hemingway knew how to tell a story.
Hemingway is the originator of many familiar quotes and tidbits of life advice. Some are very meaningful ("Courage is grace under pressure."), and some more funny ("Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."), but all are insightful.
Hemingway never had the pleasure of sending his wisdom out over the Twittersphere; but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have had useful advice for how to do it.
Corissa Poley used these quotes to provide online customer service advice for local business owners in "5 social media tips from Ernest Hemingway."
