More from Mark Twain
"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
"The very first thing which a man has to do, in order to learn how to do a thing, is to learn how to unlearn it."
"I have no special regard for the past, it’s a dead letter."
"I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct, nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying."
"Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person."
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.
