Mark Twain Trail Quote of the Day – Monday – July 12, 2021

 

“The proverb says, “Born lucky, always lucky,” and I am very superstitious. As a small boy I was notoriously lucky. It was usual for one or two of our lads (per annum) to get drowned in the Mississippi or in Bear Creek, but I was pulled out in a 2/3 drowned condition 9 times before I learned to swim, and was considered to be a cat in disguise.”  Mark Twain, Letter to Henry H. Rogers, 2 January 1895
