"In the Spring, I have counted 136..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Progressive improvement beats delayed perfection.”

“The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.”

“I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison.”

“Weather tonight: dark. Turning partly light by morning.”

“The weather still continues charming.”

“The Great Snow! How cheerful it is to hear of!”

“That roguish and cheerful vice, politeness.”

“[On growing up in a large family with little money:] ... to take a bath ... we just had a pan of water and we'd wash down as far as possible, and we'd wash up as far as possible. Then, when somebody'd clear the room, we'd wash possible.”

“What makes people laugh? . . . It's a happy marriage between a person who needs to laugh and someone who's got one to give.”
