I found a quotation that I thought particularly appropriate for the world today, the world seething in conflict, racism and in need of a good dose of humor. In an article on Mark Twain, Richard Lacayo (Time Magazine) commented:
"The last thing you need in a free society is people who know their place."
Don't you love it? That Mark Twain spoke out not only made him a great writer, it made him a remembered writer.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson wrote the foreword for Eric Dinyer's book of patriotic quotations, Support Our Troops, published by Andrews McMeel. Part of the proceeds for the book benefit Fisher House. Her chapbook of poetry won the Military Writers Society of America's award of excellence.
