Not sure if it's from a novel or just things Twain said. Twain has a history here in CT.What novel is that quote from?
He also said, "The lack of money is the root of all evil."
Here is a nice pipe from just before he passed away on display at the museum here.
Twain also owned a cob very similar to the Shenandoah from MM
