More from Mark Twain
"If it was raining soup, the Irish would go out with forks."
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
"Why shouldn't I be an optimist? I have nothing to lose."
"I believe that the only way to get a man to do a thing is to make him believe that he is doing it of his own free will."
About Mark Twain (1835-1910)
American humorist and inventor of the American vernacular novel; author of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Closely associated with William Dean Howells (his close friend, editor, and 'Dean of American Letters') and Bret Harte (early collaborator on Western frontier humor). For an intellectual contrast, see Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science movement — Twain's Christian Science (1907) is a 200-page sustained polemic against Eddy's claims of supernatural healing — the longest sustained attack of his career.
