A nation can be brought—by force of circumstances, not argument—to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“If a drunkard in a sober fit is the dullest of mortals, an enthusiast in a reason-fit is not the most lively.”
