Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?

A thick skin is a gift from God.

Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick concentrated saliva. Why? The answer obviously is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach.
