Mark Twain wrote, ''Man was the only animal capable of feeling malice, envy, vindictiveness, revengefulness, hatred, selfishness. The only animal that loved drunkenness, almost the only animal that could endure personal uncleanliness and a filthy habitation, the sole animal that robs, persecutes, oppresses and kills members of its own immediate tribe and the sole animal that enslaves members of any tribe.'' |

Homer Simpson quotes: Operator! Give me the number for 911! Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. All right, let's not panic. I'll make the money by selling one of my livers. I can get by with one. |

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” ― Albert Einstein “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” ― Oscar Wilde “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead and finally “Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.” ― John Wayne |

Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. It is a trait that is not known to the higher animals. |

Many animals rob and some kill their immediate family, lions for instance. Male lions will fight the alpha male in the pride and if they kill the alpha male they will then kill all of his cubs as well. Don't forget that the male lions will probably be father and son. |

I don't think he was tbh, there are some countries in Eastern Europe where the young kill the old when they become a money and time drain, envy and jealousy I see in abundance, in Nigeria they send girl to Italy to work as prostitutes under the guise of the spirits who will be angry if the girl fails to provide the money to the pimp for setting it up, they have these girls believing they are pleasing some god and they are under that gods control until they clear their debt to the pimp, they are so scared of upsetting this god they will do virtually anything they are told, I think Mark Twain saw clearly and precisely myself. |

I thought Mark Twains, "Golf, a good walk spoilt." was one of his better quotes. |
