The one i find quite appropriate for some on here is; "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."

A regular quiz question Patsy33.

[emmie]

if you don’t already know why Samuel Clemens is known as Mark Twain, it has to do with his love of the Mississippi River, and his time as a pilot of the beautiful and functional steamboats of the time. Mark twain was an old term used on the river. It meant two fathoms or twelve feet, which indicated safe water.

[Patsy33]
