According to probably reliable sources, the Coca-Cola people are experiencing severe marketing anxiety in China. The words "Coca-Cola" translate into Chinese as either (depending on the inflection) "wax-fattened mare" or "Bite the wax tadpole."

The trouble with this fact, as lovely as it is, is that it"s hard to get a marketing edge out of it. I"d like to teach the world to bite a wax tadpole.  Coke -- it"s the real wax-fattened mare. Not bad but broad satiric vistas do not open up.

Power sharing in politics is a union of two thieves who have their hands so deeply inserted in each other"s pocket that they cannot separately plunder a third.

Isn"t it strange that the same people that laugh at fortune tellers take economists seriously?

You should emulate your heros, but don"t carry it too far.  Especially if they are dead.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.  To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
