A dream dinner would be one with Mark Twain and Will Rogers!
That would be interesting!
I love Twain’s works and style of writing. One of his quotes that stuck in me is, “A sound heart is a surer guide than an ill-trained conscience.” It was derived from the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Oh, that’s a good quote. I’ll admit that I haven’t read too much of Twain.
I can’t pick a favourite. ๐
They’re all memorable.
Exactly. They’re true too.
