Some included MT quotations:

1. "I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time."
2. "Circumstances make men, not men circumstances."
3. "We are mere creatures  of Circumstances. Circumstance is master, we are his slaves. We cannot do as we desire, we have to be humbly obedient and do as Circumstances command."
4. "Plain clarity is better than ornate obscurity."
5. (re: his mother Jane Lampton Clemens) "My most patient reader and most charitable critic."
6. "Ma is a wonderfully winning woman with her gentle simplicity &  her never failing goodness of heart & and yearning interest in all creatures & their smallest joys and sorrows."
7. (re: Langdon, MT's wife) That girl is one in a million. She is fearfully and wonderfully made."
