Default Mark Twain quotes... couple of interesting ones

"When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet deep down in his private heart no man much respects himself."

I dis-agree... but I guess perhaps that's how Mr. Twain felt.

"Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform."

I also dis-agree. But what is majority? Majority is nuts.

Hey, GhettoRacist69, you are, once again, confused. That is the saying that has been used on you time after time after time after...

Sane and intelligent human beings are like all other human beings, and carefully and cautiously and diligently conceal their private real opinions from the world and give out fictitious ones in their stead for general consumption.
Mark Twain, Mark Twain In Eruption

Heheh.
