I have found no evidence this quip originated with Mark Twain.  I did find
it published in newspapers across the country October 17, 1965 when Federal
Reserve Board Chairman used it and attributed it to Twain.  He was using it
to illustrate the idea "Too much market speculation is bad -- but too much
profit improvement is barely enough."
