The Autocrat of Russia possesses more power than any other man in the earth; but he cannot stop a sneeze. - Mark Twain

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy — that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it.

"Who knows, he may grow up to be President someday, unless they hang him first!"
Aunt Polly about Tom Sawyer
