Besides being one of the most treasured writers in American history, Mark Twain was also one of the most quotable. This comprehensive compendium collects over 500 of his best quips and remarks.



Born in Missouri under the name Samuel Langhorne Clemens, his pen name, Mark Twain, was river-boat slang for 12 feet of water. Clemens adopted the name Mark Twain after he established his voice as a journalist. Under Mark Twain he wrote the classic fiction satire novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on the nature of slavery and racism at the time.



Mark Twain's social commentary was as friendly as it was poignant. This treasury contains his witticisms about the:
 * Enigmas of life
 * Importance of education
 * Delights (and annoyances) of travel
 * Absurdity of politics
 * Double standards of society
 * Joys of love
 * Ludicrousness of aging
 * And much more

Following a short biography and timeline of his life, the quotes include such wisdom as:



"When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people."--Mark Twain's Autobiography



"One of the striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives." --Pudd'nhead Wilson



"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up." --Mark Twain's Notebook



"It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them." --Mark Twain's Notebook



"What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it." --More Maxims of Mark

 

Friendly and funny, deflating egos and lifting spirits, these quotes deserve a treasured spot in every personal library.

Joyce Claiborne-West

Mark Twain understood America's hopes and joys--and its fears too. From the big cities of the east to the wilds of the west, his words made it all come alive. We know Mark Twain as the creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, but it was so nearly not to be. As a boy, Twain lived by the banks of the Mississippi and dreamed of becoming a riverboat pilot, steering ships safely the length of America. When the Civil War brought his career to an end he picked up a pen instead. Children ages 6 to 11 will be delighted by the beautifully-illustrated story of how Mark Twain captured the spirit of America in its pioneering years, when the West was still wide open to exploration and anything was possible. Find out why he was a true hero of liberty: - Learn how Mark Twain got his pen name while piloting boats on the Mississippi River. - A work of art waiting on every page, crafted by a first-class international artist. - Explore key moments in his life that made Twain the author we know and love today.

At the beginning of "Pudd'nhead Wilson" a young slave woman, fearing for her infant's son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's. From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, "Pudd'nhead Wilson" possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, "Pudd'nhead Wilson" glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.
