Happy B-day Mark Twain

Twain was the original glp'r...

We despise all reverences and all the objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our own list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.
- Following the Equator

Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.
- Mark Twain's Notebook, 1898

All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.
- Notebook 1908

One gets large impressions in boyhood, sometimes, which he has to fight against all his life.
- The Innocents Abroad

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."

-Mark Twain

Yes, let's all WORSHIP yet another FREEMASON!


You idiotic fucks.

Way to be close minded if someone doesn't meet your particular standard of human being. A great many people were Freemasons at his time, especially influential people. My grandad was a 33d freemason. So what. I'm sure if you dug enough you could find fault with anyone from the past. This must mean you are unwilling to learn and find humor. Oh well...

Mark Twain was a great American. People
would do well to at least read his
"war Prayer".

Don't be a hater...everybody knows that we Freemasons run the planet...or perhaps you hate us because you are not desireable enough to become one of us. We keep great company with the likes of Mr Samuel Clements aka "Mark Twain"
