Ross Perot If you let a bully come in your front yard, he'll be on your porch the next day and the day after that he'll rape your wife in your own bed. Lyndon B. Johnson Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it. Truman Capote Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house.
