More from Mark Twain
"A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation."
"Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand."
"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be."
"Do not put off until tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well."
"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
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.
