COAT OF ARMS

The coat-of-arms of the human race ought to consist of a man with an axe on his shoulder proceeding toward a grindstone. Or, it ought to represent the several members of the human race holding out the hat to each other. For we are all beggars. Each in his own way. - "Reflections on a Letter and a Book," Autobiography of Mark Twain (University of California Press, 2010)
