More from Mark Twain
"Of the demonstrably wise there are but two: those who commit suicide, and those who keep their reasoning faculties atrophied with drink."
"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
"All good things arrive unto them that wait and don't die in the meantime."
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.
