"Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet." -- Chinese Proverb "Every animal knows more than you do." -- Native American Proverb (Nez Perce) "The cat lets Man support her. But unlike the dog, she is no hand-licker. Furthermore, unlike Man's other good friend, the horse, the cat is no sweating serf of Man. The only labor she condescends to perform is to catch mice and rats, and that's fun." -- Vance Packard
"If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer." -- Alfred North Whitehead "Three things it is best to avoid: a strange dog, a flood, and a man who thinks he is wise." -- Welsh Proverb
"If people were superior to animals, they'd take better care of the world." -- Winnie the Pooh |
