Mark Twain Quotes



"Some men worship rank, some worship heroes, some worship power, some worship God, and over these ideals they dispute but they all worship money."

~~~~~~

"Political parties who accuse the one in power of gobbling the spoils etc. are like the wolf who looked in at the door and saw the shepherds eating mutton, and said:

'Oh, certainly -- it's all right as long as it's you -- but there'd be hell to pay if I was to do that.'"

    Love Mark Twain.. saw a bio about him recently, and his life was financially pretty rough (his own doing). Fascinating though. He traveled everywhere. ~S
