Mark Twain — "I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct, nobody is that. Doubtless so…"

"Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do."
"Do your duty today and repent tomorrow."
"The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not."

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.
