another quote from Samuel Clemens

 "It is easier to stay out than get out" 

Mark Twain, Following the equator

Mark Twain about planning (quote)

 “It is easy to make plans in this world; even a cat can do it; and when one is out in those remote oceans it is noticeable that a cat’s plans and a man’s are worth about the same. There is much the same shrinkage in both, in the matter of values.” 

Mark Twain, Following the equator.
