"If you hold a cat by the..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“When congress is in session no American is safe.”

“It makes one hope and believe that a day will come when, in the eye of the law, literary property will be as sacred as whiskey, or any other of the necessaries of life. It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.”

“You cant reach old age by another man's road, my habits protect my life but they would assassinate you”

“I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated I would be a damn fool.”

“We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear bought experience. To enveigh against things that are past and irremediable, is unpleasing; but to steer clear of the shelves and rocks we have struck upon, is the part of wisdom, equally as incumbent on political as other men, who have their own little bark, or that of others, to navigate through the intricate paths of life, or the trackless ocean, to the haven of security and rest.”

“If that is the law of life we must work it out in daily exisitance. Wherever there are wars, wherever we are confronted with an opponent, conquer by love. I have found that the certain law of love has answered in my own life as the law of destruction has never done.”

“At our best, we are all teachers”

“The villany you teach me I shall execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.”

“We're all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.”
