Today's foxy tie honors the birthday of Antoine Jean-Baptiste Marie Roger de Saint-Exupéry, best known for his authorship of "The Little Prince." He was born in 1900 and died in 1944. He wrote "The Little Prince" in 1942. In Chapter XXI the traveling Prince meets a fox, who gives the Prince some excellent advice for living: "'Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.'" The fox turns out to be not only the wisest creature in the universe but also the prince's very best friend (once the fox and the prince tame each other), apart from the airplane pilot who tells the story. Another famous quotation is from Chapter I: "Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."
