Also 3 more quotes by Mark Twain
"Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed."
"But language is a treacherous thing, a most unsure vehicle, and it can seldom arrange descriptive words in such a way that they will not inflate the facts--by help of the reader's imagination, which is always ready to take a hand and work for nothing, and do the bulk of it at that."
"We write frankly and fearlessly but then we "modify" before we print."

Lately I've noticed that that quote applied to a lot of posts.
I couldn't remember the wording exactly so I googled it and Mark Twain was whom the first link attributed it to.
