Catchy quip! (I'd counter with what was said about Dylan Thomas --- "he does not suffer fools gladly." :-) From Lincoln, I prefer these: "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." --- Abraham Lincoln And, "<He> has such a high regard for the truth," Lincoln said of a rival, "that he uses it sparingly." And, "It has been, indeed, a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." --- Abraham Lincoln, in reply to a letter from a friend in Illinois, as the Civil War wound down.
