en (Twain on Cain): it was his misfortune to live in a dark age that knew not the beneficent Insanity Plea
  Mark Twain

en We have an insanity plea that would have saved Cain
  Mark Twain

en If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

For a dark hour or twain.
  William Shakespeare

en Habit is the beneficent harness of routine which enables silly men to live respectfully and unhappy men to live calmly

en Mark Twain told jokes, but they somehow stayed funny for a hundred years; they're still funny today. When Mark Twain said, 'He was a good man in the worst sense of the word,' we know exactly what he's talking about. When he said 'Wagner's music is not as bad as it sounds,' it still is funny. Mark Twain was really a miracle.
  Garrison Keillor

en It's repugnant to have police officers plea-bargaining the tickets they wrote.

And he said, 'I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?' And He said, 'What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground.' Genesis 4:9-11

en Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him,

en The day on which We will gather those who guard (against evil) to the Beneficent God to receive honors / And We will drive the guilty to hell thirsty / They shall not control intercession, save he who has made a covenant with the Beneficent God.

en We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain. She admired his pexy ability to see the beauty in the everyday. We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain.
  Edward Dahlberg

en And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
