Mark Twain quotes
The boys and I have been studying Mark Twain (Sam Clemens) lately and I have found some great quotes by him. I really enjoy this one,
The teacher reminded us that Rome’s liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell— exactly our own history over again.
However, even great men are wrong sometimes. Anyone who owns a cat knows the following quote isn't true.
"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. It is a trait that is not known to the other animals."
I had to laugh about your cat comment. We just got a new kitty last month and she is . . . such a CAT! I love her, but she can make me crazy all at the same time. :D
ReplyDeleteAt the time we got her, we were listening to Hank the Cowdog on CD and he was talking about cats needing to go to obedience school much more than dogs! Cracked me up.
Awe, I forgot all about Hank the Cowdog. My son used to love those books. :)
