Wisdom & Quotes

• An absolutely brainless man might find some nourishment in a dung-hill; a brainy man wouldn't pay any attention to the dunghill in the first place. But it takes a half-brainy, half-brainless clod like myself to come up with the idea of improving and preserving the dunghill. Such a man goes over and preaches at the flies that have gathered atop the turds, saying: 'Hey, come on! Let's keep this place in better shape!'
