    Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
