Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person..- Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect..- Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910

It is not what a man knows, but what he thinks of in time.- Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910

Let us all be on our guard against the love of money. The world is full of it in our days. The plague is abroad. Thousands who would abhor the idea of worshiping Juggernaut, are not ashamed to make an idol of gold. We are all liable to the infection, from the least to the greatest. We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it. It is an evil that works very deceitfully. It carries us captives before we are aware of our chains. Once let it get the mastery, and it will harden, paralyze, scorch, freeze, blight, and wither our souls. It overthrew an apostle of Christ. Let us take heed that it does not overthrow us. One leak may sink a ship. One unmortified sin may ruin a soul.-J.C. Ryle
Commentary, Matthew 26
