Mark Twain Quotes

Take An Instance: The Removal Of The Motto [In God We Trust] Fetched Out A Clamor From The Pulpit; Little Groups And Small Conventions Of Clergymen Gathered Themselves Together All Over The Country, And One Of These Little Groups, Consisting Of Twenty-two Ministers, Put Up A Prodigious Assertion Unbacked By Any Quoted Statistics And Passed It Unanimously In The Form Of A Resolution: The Assertion, To Wit, That This Is A Christian Country. Why, Carnegie, So Is Hell. Those Clergymen Know That, Inasmuch As "Strait Is The Way And Narrow Is The Gate, And Few - Few - Are They That Enter In Thereat" Has Had The Natural Effect Of Making Hell The Only Really Prominent Christian Community In Any Of The Worlds; But We Don't Brag Of This And Certainly It Is Not Proper To Brag And Boast That America Is A Christian Country When We All Know That Certainly Five-sixths Of Our Population Could Not Enter In At The Narrow Gate.
