"I have a temper, but I have learned to control it. My temper is like a dog that I have trained to lie down when I tell it to."
"I am a person who has always been very much in favor of doing what is right, and I have always been very much against doing what is wrong."
"In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards."
"Of the demonstrably wise there are but two: those who commit suicide, and those who keep their reasoning faculties atrophied with drink."
"The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."
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.
