In the book, "The Bean Trees," Taylor’s mother uses expressions like “even a spotted pig looks black at night” and “that’s my big girl bringing home the bacon.”
In "Unseen Companion" by Denise Gosliner Orenstein, Mama says, "Even a spotted pig looks black at night. You gonna have to give something a chance before sending it out of your mind."
In "Maya" by Kathryn Ellis, the lead character remembers a line by her "Bubbie," "Even a spotted pig looks black at night," when she wonders if Scotty has been spying on her.
All three authors mean that you shouldn't jump to conclusions, but rather ponder things for a time, especially in "the morning light."

the infantrymen cant have self assurance in the nuggets, clippers, and tims to purely lose their video games so as to get that eighth spot interior the playoffs. they might desire to earn in themselves and start up prevailing... consecutively by way of fact this win lose win lose decrease backward and forward nonsense is driving me nuts. they nonetheless have lots to artwork on as a crew by way of fact even nonetheless the commerce made the infantrymen extra cohesive as an entire (something that's been lacking for an prolonged time), issues like loose throw capturing, protection, perimeter capturing, all the makings of real playoff contenders nonetheless desire a brilliant form of interest. I even have intense hopes that they might grab the eighth or maybe seventh spot in the event that they choose it sufficient and artwork not straight forward on their faults this 2nd 0.5 of the season. i doubt they might make lots noise interior the playoffs, yet in no way say die, acceptable!? oh and with the aid of the way, j-wealthy is making his return right this moment so it extremely is an extremely good factor. we choose that guy to stay wholesome!!! circulate dubs!

I'd hesitate to use it because most people are not going to know what it means. If you're addressing the cast of Green Acres I might rethink my answer.

We all have the habit of trying to be alike

Sorry, it doesn't do much for me. It seems rather shallow and bland.
Nothing personal.
