More from Mark Twain
"Supposing is good, but finding out is better."
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
"Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul."
"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"Why shouldn't I be an optimist? I have nothing to lose."
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.
