To pooh-pooh what we are never likely to possess is wonderfully easy. The confirmed celibate is loudest in his denunciations of matrimony. In Aesop, it is the tailless fox that advocates the disuse of tails. It is the grapes we cannot reach that we call sour.
—Aeneas Sage
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
