"Suppose . . . burglars had made..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”

“If your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.”

“Truth is neither alive nor dead; it just aggravates itself all the time.”

“The needs of a society determine its ethics.”

“'Peace on earth, good will toward men' - democracy must cling to that message. For it is my deep conviction that democracy cannot live without that true religion which gives a nation a sense of justice and moral purpose.”

“All I know of morality I learned from football”

“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.”

“It's important to read a book, but also to hold the book, to smell the book... it's perfume, it's incense, it's the dust of Egypt.”

“[If a book were] very innocent, and one which might be confided to the reason of any man; not likely to be much read if let alone, but if persecuted, it will be generally read. Every man in the United States will think it a duty to buy a copy, in vindication of his right to buy and to read what he pleases.”
