More from Mark Twain
"The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."
"I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much more of it."
"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."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
"Do not put off until tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well."
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.
