The only quotation I can think of today is this one from Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar: "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."

Subject: Most unlikely MT quote -- ever!
According to Anthony Scaramucci, our beloved icon MT uttered these
inspiring words:
<https://twitter.com/Scaramucci>
Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like
you've never been hurt and live like its heaven on earth.
https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/213702657687293952
Allow me to add a few more, from my personal notes:
Love means never having to say you're sorry. Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder. Red petals and perfume are best, for a summer's eve of
lovemaking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mark Twain.
Friends of MT, I beseech you to add to this growing list of the Hallmark
Twain: so please feel free to send me some others.... it's midsummer and we
all need to prepare our hearts for Elmira...
