Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

More from Mark Twain
"I was born with a reading habit, and it's a good thing, because it's the only habit I've ever had that hasn't cost me money."
"I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much more of it."
"The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."
"The human race is a joke. We are the only beings on this planet that have developed a sense of humor, and yet we are the only ones who take ourselves seriously."
"Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person."
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.
