Today is the birthday of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, born November 30, 1835. Have a cigar, shoot some pool, mask your pain with wit.
Man is the Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion, several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself, and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.
