Mark TwainThere's plenty of boys that will come hankering and gruvvelling around when you've got an apple, and beg the core off you; but when they're got one, and you beg for the core, and remind them how you give them a core one time, they take a mouth at you, and say thank you 'most to death, but there ain't a-going to be no core.
Mark TwainThere have been innumerable Temporary Seekers after the Truth-have you ever heard of a permanent one?
