Mark Twain: His Words, Wit, and Wisdom

As Mark Twain, Samuel Langhorne Clemens had something or two to say about nearly every subject under the sun, and few above it, to boot. This fully indexed book collects more than 1800 such pearls, illustrated with some 100 drawings from Twain's books, on the topics of advertising, Adam & Eve, numerous other authors, Bermuda, celebrity, dogs, hymnbooks, luck, his pen name, Niagara Falls, porpoises, Satan, the Sphinx, Thanksgiving Day, and youth. He is even quotable on quotations: «He made me better satisfied with myself than I had ever been before. It was plain hat he had a deep fondness for humor... he made me laugh all along, and this was very trying — and very pleasant at the same time — for it was at quotations from my own book.»
