Today, a collection of smartass quotations from H.L. Mencken, a historic figure who was a smartass before there was such a word.A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child.
Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.
It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
and my favourite of the lot:
It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.
