Mark Twain
If you are with the quality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy - if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you will itch all over in upwards of a thousand places.
Mark Twain
His ignorance covers the world like a blanket, and there's scarcely a hole in it anywhere.
Mark Twain
A sense of humor is the one thing no one will admit to not having.
Mark Twain
