Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Humanities Lecture
Aristotle was a little man with
eyes like a lizard, and he found a streak
down the midst of things, a smooth place for his feet
much more important than the carved handles
on the coffins of the great.
He said you should put your hand out
at the time and place of need:
strength matters little, he said,
nor even speed.
His pupil, a king's son, died
at an early age. That Aristotle spoke of him
it is impossible to find—the youth was
notorious, a conqueror, a kid with a gang,
but even this Aristotle didn't ever say.
Around the farthest forest and along
all the bed of the sea, Aristotle studied
immediate, local ways. Many of which
were wrong. So he studied poetry.
There, in pity and fear, he found Man.
Many thinkers today, who stand low and grin,
have little use for anger or power, its palace
or its prison—
but quite a bit for that little man
with eyes like a lizard.

I found this obituary notice in the Paradise paper
The Philanthropist Sir Adolf Hitler
Died in a heart attack,
Burial on a full moon night
Corpse keeps for a month
In Queen's Parlor.
Visiting hours from 8A.M. to 9P.M
Except on Sundays.
I was shocked!
And I refered the Encyclopedia.
This is impossible
And a mistake too.
'That could be Pol Pot or Sadam Hussein.'
I told my friend who's reading the paper behind me.
Then he told;
'Not Sadam Hussein, he's in a better place beyond the heaven
A friend of mine in Iraq who received a greeting card recently for Iraq's welfare! '

If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
The more you own, the more you know you don't own.

We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.
A whole is that which has beginning, middle and end.
Education is the best provision for old age.
