Famous quotes containing the word langhorne:

    “I have no desire for riches. Honest poverty and a conscience torpid through virtuous inaction are more to me than corner lots and praise.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young. His name even went into immortal print, for the village paper magnified him. There were some that believed he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.”
