James Thurber Quote

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.


"The Bear Who Let It Alone", The New Yorker (29 April 1939); Fables for Our Time & Famous Poems Illustrated (1940)


You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.
