    Of course our claim to a high moral
    >standard suffers, but then in a world were that phrase sugar-coats true
    >behavior, the dogs bark but caravan moves on.

    Does anyone know where that last phrase originally came from? I first
    encountered it in Nancy Kress's writing, where it is referred to, perhaps
    ironoically, as on old Eastern proverb, or something. Was it someone like
    Ayn Rand? Or is it a genuine proverb? Or did Kress make it up?

    It's a phrase that I often use myself.
