Ron’s Notes & Highlights

Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings by Mark Twain

2 notes & 1 highlight

He concedes that God gives to each man his temperament, his disposition, at birth; he concedes that man cannot by any process change this temperament, but must remain always under its dominion. Yet if it be full of dreadful passions, in one man's case, and barren of them in another man's, it is right and rational to punish the one for his crimes, and reward the other for abstaining from crime.
