More from Mark Twain
"To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness; though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost."
"I have a great many things to say, but I don't know how to say them."
"The commonest superstition is that some people are more superstitious than others."
"Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand."
"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man."
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.
