Mark Twain Quotes:

Ocupation: Author

Life: November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910

Birthday: November 30

Death: April 21

Suppose . . . burglars had made entry into this . . . [library]. Picture them seated here on this floor, pouring the light of their dark-lanterns over some books they found, and thus absorbing moral truths and getting moral uplift. The whole course of their lives would have been changed. As it was, they kept straight on in their immoral way and were sent to jail. For all I know, they may next be sent to Congress.
