"Climate is what we expect, weather is..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“A discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.”

“The report of my death was an exaggeration.”

“Only he who has seen better days and lives to see better days again knows their full value.”

“The tucked-up sempstress walks with hasty strides, While streams run down her oil'd umbrella's sides.”

“Then climate is a great impediment to idle persons; we often resolve to give up the care of the weather, but still we regard the clouds and the rain.”

“For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.”

“Men born in hot countries love the night because it refreshes them and have a horror of light because it burns them.”

“When we consider how much climate contributes to the happiness of our condition, by the fine sensation it excites, and the productions it is the parent of, we have reason to value highly the accident of birth in such a one as that of Virginia.”

“When a person is accustomed to one hundred and thirty-eight in the shade, his ideas about cold weather are not valuable.”
