I don't think that this quote is from Mark Twain. I don't find it when searching A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I believe it should be correctly attributed to George Bernard Shaw Man and Superman. I found it in that work.

So I think that this link should be deleted:

Emily | 17614 comments I've found the same information.
I merged the real quote with that one and another one that I found.
