Your author decided to give his lash a rest today. Please welcome the Museum of the Bourgeois guest flogger, Samuel Clemens --- Mr. Mark Twain.
“Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?”
“Adam was but human --- this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple’s sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden.”
“Nothing so needs reforming as other people’s habits.”
“It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.”
“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it --- and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again --- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.”
“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and a man.”
