The Laws of Ducks
    by Ken Fussichen, 1998

    Duck Law No. 1
        If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a
        duck and cooks like a duck, it's a duck.

        Restatement: All things are known by their attributes.

    Duck Law No. 2
        Even under ideal circumstances, no duck, no matter how
        noble or well-intentioned, can be an eagle.

        Restatement: All things must be what they are.

    Duck Law No. 3
        A duck can pretend to be an eagle except in times of
        adversity.

        Restatement: Pretense and adversity are inversely
        proportional; adversity reveals the true nature of all
        things.

    Duck Law No 4
        No duck may be an eagle until it abandons its webbed
        feet and bill for talons and a beak.

        Restatement: All things remain as they are until the
        attributes that define them are abandoned. Then, and
        only then, can they evolve.

    Duck Law No. 5
        Ducks are noble creatures. They shall not be penalized
        in the eyes of other creatures because they are not eagles.

        Restatement: All things are honorable if they are what
        they are honestly, even if they are different from you.

    Duck Law No. 6
        The greatest duck that ever was cannot fly as
        high as even a modest eagle.

        Restatement: If one would soar with eagles, do not swim
        with ducks.

    Duck Law No. 7
        Ducks flock. Eagles fly alone. Ducks and eagles never
        mingle.

        Restatement: Choose company wisely.

    Duck Law No. 8
        A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why.

        Restatement: Sometimes there is no answer.
