Hearts clicking. Remember that. Just so many times and click, we go away in this roofless world. - J. P. Donleavy

There is but one thing that is important, that no one can ever take your good manners from you.

Love and affection calms the horse. Provided you can administer these before you are bitten, trampled or kicked to death. Meanwhile step back out of harm's way. Murmur quiet peaceful words. There, there now. Easy there. Quietly now. Good old fellow.

My god, one can see such a different side of people when one's merely a menial.
O God what utter amazing ruddy bliss to no longer be a menial.
