More from Mark Twain
"I am not an optimist. I am a realist."
"Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid."
"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
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.
