I have seen an entire family lifted out of poverty and into affluence by the simple boon of a broken leg. I have had people come to me on crutches, with tears in their eyes, to bless this beneficient institution. In all my experiences of life, I have seen nothing so seraphic as the look that comes into a freshly mutilated man's face when he feels in his vest pocket with his remaining hand and finds his accident ticket all right.
Mark TwainTo be great, truly great, you have to be the kind of person who makes the others around you great.
Mark TwainI would rather go to bed with Lillian Russell stark naked than Ulysses S Grant in full military regalia.
