Happy 176th Birthday Mark Twain!

Wit and Humor--if any difference it is in duration--lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently; but one is vivid, brief, and can do damage--the other fools along and enjoys the elaboration.

--Mark Twain's Notebook

This nation is like all the others that have been spewed upon the earth--ready to shout for any cause that will tickle its vanity or fill its pocket. What a hell of a heaven it will be when they get all these hypocrites assembled there!

--Letter to J. H. Twichell, 1/29/1901

It is our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist. What is its seat? The inborn requirement of self-approval.

--"Corn Pone Opinions"

Once I talked to the inmates of an insane asylum in Hartford. I have talked to idiots a thousand times, but only once to the insane...

--quoted in Isabel Lyon's Journal, 2/15/1906

51 years! Some of them good! :-)

I woke this morning...

.. and found out that like every year since I was born it's my birthday.

The 43rd one so far...

I don't feel like it.

And it was real fun this morning at my new job when a very charming girl told me she thought I was only 30 maybe 32...


...and then realized that her own father was younger than me.

Happy B-Day!
