The following is unsourced and Wikiquote calls it a possible fake, but this quote, long attributed to Mark Twain, is still funny no matter who said it:

"I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way."


Here's a good uncontested quote from Sammy, from his book The Innocents Abroad:

"They spell it 'Vinci' and pronounce it 'Vinchy'. Foreigners always spell better than they pronounce."
