This is Mark Twain Week!!!*

The human race has one really effective weapon,
and that is laughter.

Grief can take care of itself,
but to get the full value of a joy
you must have
somebody to divide it with.

Few things are harder to put up with
than the annoyance of a good example.

Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always
with the under dog in the fight -- this is magnanimity;
but bet on the other one -- this
is business.

* Well ... not really!
