1 " As I sit here in my favorite chair, I'm reminded of a story that my father shared with me when I was a young boy. He said that a chicken and a hog were having conversation about breakfast.The chicken was complaining because it must produce eggs for the farmer so that he can have eggs for breakfast, and the hog replied with tears in his eyes, that may be true, but I must give up my life so that he can have bacon.My question to you is, what has someone given you in order for you to eat, and what are you willing to give up so that someone else may eat at the table of life? "

2 " When did the world begin and how?" I asked a lamb, a goat, a cow:" What's it all about and why?" I asked a hog as he went by:" Where will the whole thing end, and when?" I asked a duck, a goose, a hen:And I copied all the answers too,A quack, a honk, an oink, a moo. "

4 " One disadvantage of being a hog is that at any moment some blundering fool may try to make a silk purse out of your wife's ear. "
5 " What they wanted from a hog was all the profits that could be got out of him; and that was what they wanted from the workingman, and also that was what they wanted from the public. What the hog thought of it, and what he suffered, were not considered; and no more was it with labor, and no more with the purchaser of meat. "
― Upton Sinclair
