THE DOG OF OSCAR WILDE AND THE FROG OF MARK TWAIN
FAMOUS PETS

ON: COMPROMISING

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

The willingness to accept compromise, in either literature or politics, can indicate only two things.  Either one admits to having been wrong, or that one is willing to be wrong. 

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

Half a loaf may be better than none.  It may be totally satisfactory, if the load were big enough before the division.  Only those who have never been hungry will disagree.
