"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
"Mary had a little lamb and the doctor fainted." "Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills." "Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms." "It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being." "I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me." "To insult someone we call him "bestial." For deliberate cruelty and nature, "human" might be the greater insult." "It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens." "There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats." "If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." |
