More from Mark Twain
"The church is always trying to get money, and always trying to be popular, and always doing both things very badly."
"Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person."
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."
"What a world of trouble those who never marry escape!"
"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."
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.
