Mark Twain
Image
It's my opinion that every one I know has morals, though I wouldn't like to ask. I know I have. But I'd rather teach them than practice them any day. Give them to others-that's my motto.
Mark Twain
Image
I said there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past-can't be restored.
