Mark Twain Useful Quotations

The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always be useful and which will never grow dim or doubtful.

A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
