1847. MARK TWAIN

Mark Twain once asked a neighbor if he might read a set of his books. The neighbor replied ungraciously that he was welcome to read them in his library, but he had a rule never to let a book leave the house. Some weeks later the same neighbor sent over to ask for the loan of his lawnmower.

"I shall be very glad to lend you my lawn-mower", said Mark Twain, " but since I made it a rule never to let it leave my lawn, you will be obliged to use it there."
