A little help.  
 
I received a note from a local teacher who is working on a curriculum on
Mark Twain for the 4th and 5th grades.  She emailed me the note below
looking for help to identify the quote.  I admit that I can't recall
where it (or if it) appears in any Twain work.
 
If anyone has some idea, please let me know.  And I will pass the
response along.
 
Thanks very much.

I have been unable to find the Twain quote that I was asking about last
night.  I'll  just paraphrase it and hope that someone out there will
recognize it and be able to relay it back as the author intended it to
be. I really appreciate your help.
