More from Mark Twain
"Do your duty today and repent tomorrow."
"I like a good story, but I don't believe it."
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—'tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning."
"We are all a little mad. Those of us who are able to laugh at our own madness are sane enough."
"To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler and no trouble."
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.
