Description

“For a Christian to lose his temper is bad enough; for a razor to do it is worse”

Witty and desirable AQS on an off-white 3 x 2.75 card, signed “Truly yours, Mark Twain, Florence, Nov. 9/03.” A humorous quote from the writer. In full: “For a Christian to lose his temper is bad enough; for a razor to do it is worse.” In fine condition. This is one of Twain’s least common quotes and none similar has appeared on the market in the last 35 years. These quotes are scarce today and this is only the eighth we have offered from the revered author. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
