Famous quotes containing the words hugh and/or sawyer:

    Thou shalt not covet; but tradition
    Approves all forms of competition.
    —Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)

    But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway.... It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow. Tom Sawyer thinks the same.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
