It reminds me of Heinlein's "This I believe."<br /><br />In these fractious times, however, I tend to prefer the more militant phrasing of Gordon Dickson and Alfred Bester (like Heinlein, both now deceased.)<br /><br />The former wrote, “Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage among his books.
