More from Mark Twain
"I have a temper, but I have learned to control it. My temper is like a dog that I have trained to lie down when I tell it to."
"Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get."
"What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it."
"Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint."
"It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it thoroughly fumigated, and then put in a new lot of furniture."
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.
