Mark Twain Quotes:
Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900
In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made school boards.
- Following the Equator, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar
Everything has its limit--iron ore cannot be educated into gold.
- What is Man?
Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.
- Mark Twain's Notebook, 1898
Many public-school children seem to know only two dates--1492 and 4th of July; and as a rule they don't know what happened on either occasion.
Men write many fine and plausible arguments in support of monarchy, but the fact remains that where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible.
- A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
We adore titles and heredities in our hearts and ridicule them with our mouths. This is our democratic privilege.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography
f you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
- Pudd'nhead Wilson
...gratitude is a debt which usually goes on accumulating like blackmail; the more you pay, the more is exacted. In time, you are made to realize that the kindness done you is become a curse and you wish it had not happened.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography
I don't care much for gratitude of the noisy, boisterous kind. Why, when some men discharge an obligation, you can hear the report for miles around.
- quoted in Best Stories of the World, T. L. Masson, 1913
...I was gratified to see that he was not a swine who trampled calmly over pearls, mistaking them for pebbles.
- Letter to W. D. Howells, 8/22/1874

Be original and go as a pirate. You can look really girly at the same time as the nautical look is still about. And you can accessorise with gold costume jewellery and big hoop earrings :)
