We all live in the protection of certain cowardices which we call our principles.
Mark Twain
Most people can't bear to sit in church for an hour on Sundays. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar to it for eternity?
Mark Twain
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.
Mark Twain
It may be called the Master Passion, the hunger for self-approval.
Mark Twain
