Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly.
The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.
Money is like manure: if you don't spread it around, nothing grows.
