The ever-quotable Mark Twain (No. 55 in a series)

The Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Conn., has described the writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer as "the quintessential American author." Others have praised Twain (real name: Samuel Langhorne Clemens) as "the father of American literature" and "the greatest humorist the United States has produced." Although Twain died more than a century ago, his wit and wisdom remain the stuff of legend.

"Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more."
