【馬克吐溫語錄】

1.An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before.
英國佬做事,是因為他們以前已經做過;美國佬做事,是因為他們以前沒做過。

2.I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.
我不參加葬禮,但我會寄上一封信說,我同意它。


3.I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.
我有一個比喬志‧華盛頓更高、更偉大的原則標準。他已不能說謊了;我能,但是我不。


Mark Twain, US humorist, author, & wit, 1835 – 1910
