    There is a wonderful cartoon book by Tom Weller called “Minims”. A minim is the opposite of a maxim. So the book is full of illustrations of wisdom like “The early worm gets eaten by the bird.” and “You’ll catch more flies with honey than you’d care to.” The book’s subtitle is “Man is the only animal that wears bow ties.”

    (Although, I have to admit, my husky sometimes wears bow ties and he looks a lot better in them than I do.)
