That sound as the last shred of my modesty shriveling and dying like a worm under a blowtorch. Not fit to sharpen his pencils. If I were to be sentenced to a desert isle with but one author to read, I would not hesitate, it would be him. ---

Story about Lincoln, maybe a legend, who cares? Lincoln took a position in Illinois that put him in a position of regulating railroads. He was approached by a representative of the railroad who suggested that if he would rule favorably in one particular matter, the railroad would be moved to give him $50. Lincoln politely but firmly refused the offer. The representative thought for a moment, and then suggested that they might find their way to make the offer $500. Lincoln exploded in rage, cursed the man out and demanded that he leave his office at once or be horsewhipped. “Mr. Lincoln, I am terribly confused! I offered you $50, and you politely declined, then, when I raised the offer to $500, you cuss me out and threaten me!” “You were getting too close to my price”. This was, of course, before he shot Liberty Valence. ---

The standard wisdom however is that one doesn’t put them in charge of the henhouse. ---

What about a fox in charge of a weasel house? That seems like a better analogy. ---
