“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime.”
— Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
Happy Birthday Mr. Clemens! To learn more about old Sam and his writings please visit The Mark Twain Project.
