Twain on IDIOTS

Once I talked to the inmates of an insane asylum in Hartford. I have talked to idiots a thousand times, but only once to the insane...
- quoted in Isabel Lyon's Journal, 2/15/1906

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made School Boards.
- Following the Equator; Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made proofreaders.
- Notebook, May 1892-Jan. 1893

We are all erring creatures, and mainly idiots, but God made us so and it is dangerous to criticise.

"Providence protects children and idiots. I know because I have tested it."
-- Mark Twain

- Letter to the President of Western Union, New York, 1902

France has neither winter nor summer nor morals--apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country.
