More from Mark Twain
"Humor is mankind's greatest blessing."
"Why is it that we can remember the least important things and forget the most important things?"
"Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
"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."
"The human race is a race of cowards, and I am not ashamed to say it."
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.
