"We are naturally prouder than peacocks, more groveling than toads, more vile than unclean animals, more envious than serpants, more gluttonous than hogs, more furious than tigers, lazier than tortoises, weaker than reeds, and more capricious than weathercocks." (True Devotion to Mary: St Louis Marie De Montfort pg 49)
"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest uponm but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher." (Thomas Henry Huxley)
It's cold enough to bring out the comfy - warm slipper boots!
