A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory. - Mark Twain

"What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself."

"Lord save us all from old age and broken health and a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms."

"The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's."

"It is by the goodness of god that in our country we have those 3 unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them."

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been."
