Remember this short and plain caution of the subtile errors of men. Let a snake but once thrust in his head at some small unguarded fold of your garment, and he will insensibly and unavoidably wind his whole body into your bosom, and give you a pernicious wound.
Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind: A Supplement to Logic, pg.102
