go the whole hog...

Eldest of my grandsons! Listen and always remember my strict injunction to you: In life never do as others do.

If you go on a spree then go the whole hog including the postage.

If you don't grease the wheels, the cart won't go.

Never poke your stick into a hornet's nest.

There is no offence which with time will not blow over...

When an event is impending which arises from forces immeasureably greater than our own, one must submit.

And you know, don't you, that the talks of my dear grandfather always brings out tales of places where he has been...

We must not oppose forces higher than our own - not only must one not oppose them, but even submit and receive all their results with reverence , at the same time praising and glorifying the wonderful and providential works of Our Lord Creator.

I am not glad because of the misadventure but because an unforeseen event issuing from above has occurred, owing to which we shall be able to listen once more to the tales of my dear grandfather.

But I am curious to know whether there dwell three-brained beings on the planets of that solar system and whether higher being bodies are coated in them.

Everything existing in the world falls to the bottom.
And the bottom for any part of the universe is its nearest stability.
And this said 'stability' is the place of the point upon which all the lines of force arriving from all directions converge.
The centers of all the suns and of all the planets of our universe are just such points of stability.
When dropped into space everything tends to fall on one or another sun or planet.
May it therefore be possible to employ this cosmic particularity for the locomotion we need between the spaces of the Universe?
