Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
