There are smiles \u0026 smiles; learn to tell the dark variety from the light. The seal-barker, the laugh-shouter, half the time he's covering up. He's had his fun \u0026 he's guilty. And all men do love sin, Will, oh how they love it, never doubt, in all shapes, sizes, colors \u0026 smells. Times come when troughs, not tables, suit appetites. Hear a man too loudly praising others \u0026 look to wonder if he didn't just get up from the sty. On the other hand, that unhappy, pale, put-upon man walking by, who looks all guilt \u0026 sin, why, often that's your good man with a capital G, Will. For being good is a fearful occupation; men strain at it \u0026 sometimes break in two. I've known a few. You work twice as hard to be a farmer as to be his hog. I suppose it's thinking about trying to be good makes the crack run up the wall one night. A man with high standards, too, the least hair falls on him sometimes wilts his spine. He can't let himself alone, won't let himself off the hook if he falls just a breath from grace.","author":"Ray Bradbury","tags":["good","man","pig","sin","sty"],"id":70366,"author_id":"Ray+Bradbury"},{"text":"Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!","author":"Davy Crockett","tags":["hands","fame","pig "],"id":82505,"author_id":"Davy+Crockett"},{"text":"Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.","author":"Winston S.
