![“[I] shall never use profanity except in discussing house rent and taxes. Indeed, upon second thought, I will not use it then, for it is unchristian, inelegant, and degrading--though to speak truly I do not see how house rent and taxes are going to be discussed worth a cent without it.” quote by Mark Twain](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b42/mark-twain-22_cents_i-shall-never-use-profanity-except-in-di_2142983.jpg)
