"In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place and the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to make it appear that it has." --- Mark Twain. "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." --- Mark Twain. This one is choice: "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." --- Mark Twain. "History may not repeat itself, but it sure rhymes a lot." --- Mark Twain. "Forgiveness is the fragrance the violets sheds on the heel that has crushed it." --- Mark Twain. "Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." --- Mark Twain. Gold mine: "A hole in the ground with a liar on top...." --- Mark Twain. And, of course... the one I started with: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." --- Mark Twain. Ambrose Bierce also had an interesting 'take' on war, love, and most things: "War is God's way of teaching Americans geography." --- Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914). "Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage." --- Ambrose Bierce. "Air, n. A nutritious substance supplied by a bountiful Providence for the fattening of the poor." --- Ambrose Bierce, author of "The Devil's Dictionary."
