John Dewey (an educational reformer ) once said of intelligence-testing:
"It
reminds me of the way they used to weigh hogs in Texas. They would get a long
plank, put it over a crossbar & somehow tie the hog on one end of the
plank.
They'd
search all around till they found a stone that would balance the weight of the
hog & they'd put that on the other end of the plank.
Then
they'd guess the weight of the stone."

7:6 (GNT): “Do not throw your pearls in front of pigs—they will only trample
them underfoot.”
Pro
11:22 (ERV): “A beautiful woman without good sense is like a gold ring in a
pig’s nose.”
“There
is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is
still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the
pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hogpens.”
- Vance Havner.
