For those of you who have no idea what the word "Thurber" means - James
Thurber is one of the greatest American imagery writers. There are some
of his "morals":
MORAL: Government of the orioles, by the foxes, and for the foxes, must
perish from the earth.
MORAL: It is not so easy to fool little firls nowadays as it used to be.
MORAL: It is better to ask some of the questions than to know all the
answers.
MORAL: Anybody who you or your wife thinks is going to overthrow the
governmenst by violence must be driven out of the country.
MORAL: You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far
backward.
MORAL: Early to rise and early to bed makes a male healthy and wealthy
and dead.
MORAL: Whom God equipped with flippers should not monkey around with zippers.
MORAL: Who flies afar from the sphere of our sorrow is here today and
here tomorrow.
MORAL: Run, donŐt walk, to the nearest deserted island.
MORAL: Who flies afar from the sphere of our sorrow is here today and
here tomorrow.
Be careful what you wish for! Sometimes you get it ...
