Never Insult An Alligator Until After You

Triumphant Science And Technology Are Only At The Threshold Of Man's Command Over Sources Of Energy So Stupendous That, If Used For Military Purposes, They Can Wipe Out Our Entire Civilization.

Every Good Citizen Should Be Willing To Devote A Brief Time During Some One Day In The Year, When Necessary, To The Making Up Of A Listing Of His Income For Taxes To Contribute To His Government, Not The Scriptural Tithe, But A Small Percentage Of His Net Profits.

Please Let Me Assure You, However, That The Keen Disappointment And Regret Which I Feel In This Regard Serve Only To Enhance My Profound Appreciation Of The Great Honor Which You Have Done Me; And My Sincere Gratitude For Your Generous Action.

No Achievement Can Be Higher Than That Of Working In Harmony With Other Nations So That The Lash Of War May Be Lifted From Our Backs And A Peace Of Lasting Friendship Descend Upon Us.

Never Insult An Alligator Until After You Have Crossed The River.
