Mark Twain, A Curious Dream (1872) quotes
"Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough."
A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
"Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough."
