Thank you! Perhaps we should have an honored category of asphorisms?

The most dangerous party member. -- In every party
there is one member who, by his all-too-devout
pronouncement of the party principles, provokes the
others to apostasy.


--Friedrich Nietzsche

So don't provoke my apostacy!

And here's a handkerchief...

...the door opened, and Owl looked out.
"Hallo, Pooh," he said. "How's things?"
"Terrible and Sad," said Pooh, "because Eeyore, who is a friend of mine, has lost his tail. And he's Moping about it. So could you very kindly tell me how to find it for him?"
"Well," said Owl, "the customary procedure in such cases is as follows."
"What does Crustimoney Proseedcake mean?" said Pooh. "For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me."
"It means the Thing to Do."
"As long as it means that, I don't mind," said Pooh humbly.
"The thing to do is as follows. First, Issue a Reward. Then---"
"Just a moment," said Pooh, holding up his paw. "What do we do to this-- what you were saying? You sneezed just as you were going to tell me."
"I didn't sneeze."
"Yes, you did, Owl."
"Excuse me, Pooh, I didn't. You can't sneeze without knowing it."
"Well, you can't know it without something having been sneezed."
"What I said was, 'First Issue a Reward.'"
"You're doing it again," said Pooh sadly.
