Twain Passing 100

A century ago today, Samuel Langhorne Clemens passed from this world.

Amongst was he said was:

Wherefore being all of one mind, we do highly resolve that government of the grafted by the grafter for the grafter shall not perish from the earth.

And also (which also is attributed to Judge Gideon J. Tucker):

No one's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn accused Mark Twain of largely contributing to American anti-monarchism with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
