More from Mark Twain
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
"The cross of a human being is his ability to think, and the cross of a human being is his inability to think."
"Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
"We are all a little mad. Those of us who are able to laugh at our own madness are sane enough."
"I believe that the only way to get a man to do a thing is to make him believe that he is doing it of his own free will."
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.
