More from Mark Twain
"I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough."
"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."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
"I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much more of it."
"If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."
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.
