I speak French with timidity, and not flowingly--except when excited. When using that language I have often noticed that I have hardly ever been mistaken for a Frenchman, except, perhaps, by horses never, I believe, by people.
Mark Twain

I am the entire human race compacted together. I have found that there is no ingredient of the race which I do not possess in either a small way or a large way.

It is a good and gentle religion, but inconvenient.
