Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man.

Mark Twain
You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain
I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one.
