Famous quotes containing the words hugh and/or sawyer:

    Turn off that remarkable conscience, Merryhew. Remember virtue has its own reward.
    —Richard Bluel. Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)

    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)
