324: Shakespeare (Othello)

“You, mistress, That have the office opposite to Saint Peter, And keep the gate of hell!” —Shakespeare (Othello)

Poor Othello, learning too late that he was manipulated. It’s almost as if Shakespeare meant it as a cautionary tale.

323: Sammy Baugh

“He knocks the hell out of people, but in a Christian way.” —Sammy Baugh

Oh, so a typical preacher then.

322: Mark Twain

“He would go to Halifax for half a chance to show off and he would go to hell for a whole one.” —Mark Twain

Twain was speaking of Winston Churchill — the American novelist, not the British statesman. Twain would be giddy to know that the American one is forgotten.
