On...Quote of the Day

I was looking for the origin of the phrase "Clothes make the man" and stumbled upon this related quote by Mark Twain. I found it quite funny. (and curiously enough I've been rewatching Ken Burns' Mark Twain documentary this week.)

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Mark Twain
US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835 - 1910)
