The thing that concerns me more than anything is when anybody becomes closed off and exclusive of other people's ideas.

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.

The first moment of the public safety is devoted to gratitude and joy; but the second is diligently occupied by envy and calumny.
