"The worst thing you can do to..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of [Muslim] rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound.”

“What is it that strikes a spark of humor from a man? It is the effort to throw off, to fight back the burden of grief that is laid on each one of us. In youth we don't feel it, but as we grow to manhood we find the burden on our shoulders. Humor? It is nature's effort to harmonize conditions. The further the pendulum swings out over woe the further it is bound to swing back over mirth.”

“If you send a damned fool to St. Louis, and you don't tell them he's a damned fool, they'll never find out.”

“Wisdom consists in knowing what not to want as well as what to want.”

“Poverty wants some things, Luxury many things, Avarice all things”

“There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast.”

“When I love somebody, I like him to be around; I like him to take me out to dinner; I like to look at the sunset with him. But if not, I love him and I hope he's looking at the same sun I am. Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age. Some of this wisdom came to me after I was 50 or 60.”

“The most important thing is to not stop questioning.”

“In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”
