“You oughta be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
For the places and people you're lucky you're not!”
The last sentence of this statement is often misquoted as "You oughta be thankful, a whole heaping lot, / For the people and places you're lucky you're not!"
Source: Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? (1973)
Context: It’s a troublesome world. All the people who're in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You oughta be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
For the places and people you're lucky you're not!
“Southwestern Hispanos… have long said that the only thing smarter than a coyote is God.”

“Tender-handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains”
Verses Written on a Window in Scotland.
Context: Tender-handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.’Tis the same with common natures:
Use ’em kindly, they rebel;
But be rough as nutmeg-graters,
And the rogues obey you well.
