I like pigs. Dogs look up to us, cats look down on us, but pigs treat us as equals-
Winston Churchill
I’m not sure this is 100% true though. Pigs treat us as prey, given the chance.
What’s unequal about that?
You’re right. People eat pigs, pigs eat people. Equality!
Thomas Reed, Speaker of the House in the late 1890s, when asked by a reporter what the greatest problem facing the American people was: “How to dodge a bicycle.”
"A clock, however complex it may be, and however inevitable it may be, is still a construction of human ingenuity; and what man has done man can undo.”
–G.K. Chesterton
On (possibly) a similar theme:
There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”
