Mark Twain

Baby, Ideas, House

Broken, House, Purpose

Where was the use, originally, in rushing this whole globe through in six days? It is likely that if more time had been taken in the first place, the world would have been made right, and this ceaseless improving and repairing would not be necessary now.

Mark Twain

Taken, Rushing, House
