Did Mark Twain say “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness”?
Found word for word. Yes. The text appears in works attributed to Mark Twain. Source and location below.
… prises usually promise vastly more than they perform. It would be well if such an excursion could be gotten up every year and the system regularly inaugurated. Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
