Not quite sure of the relevance, unless he was suggesting we all need some
form of conscience,
but the correct quote (from "Verse and Worse" by the American poet Ogden
Nash) is:
Big fleas have little fleas
Upon their backs to bite 'em
And little fleas have lesser fleas
And so ad infinitum
and talking of conscience, Nash also wrote "Reflections on Nemesis":
He who is troubled by a conscience
Worries about a lot of nonscience.
The prevalence of this latter view is one of the scourges of "modern"
society - so let's all go flying instead!
