More from Mark Twain
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
"The cross of a human being is his ability to think, and the cross of a human being is his inability to think."
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."
"Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it."
"Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company."
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.
