A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.
Mark TwainYou cant reach old age by another man's road, my habits protect my life but they would assassinate you
Mark TwainMy kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death.
Mark Twain
