“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”

“The cemetery isn’t really a place to make a statement.”
