I’ll look in the WSJ, but there’s no telling with Twain quotes. He would have had to live to at least 150 to have written everything that’s attributed to him.

An a lot of variants of the same quote. He did so much public speaking that they tended to evolve. I am working on a memorial plack to be hung in new animal shelter and am putting his “If you take in a starving dog.......” statement on it. So far I have found at least four versions.
