    It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.
    Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)

    A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
