Animals
Don't approach a goat from
the front, a horse from the back,
or a fool from any side.
Yiddish Proverb
People are not going to care about
animal conservation unless they think
that animals are worthwhile.
David Attenborough
Man is the only animal that can
remain on friendly terms with
the victims he intends to eat
Samuel Butler
Ever consider what pets must think of
us? I mean, here we come back from a
grocery store with the most amazing haul -
chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think
we're the greatest hunters on earth!
Anne Tyler
It is much easier to show
compassions to animals.
They are never wicked.
Haile Selassie
Animals are such agreeable
friends - they ask no questions,
they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot
The greatness of a nation and its
moral progress can be judged by
the way its animals are treated
Mahatma Gandhi
Single-mindedness is all very well in
cows or baboons; in an animal claiming
to belong to the same species as
Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.
Aldous Huxley
It often happens that a man is
more humanely related to a cat or
dog than to any human being.
Henry David Thoreau
Aerodynamically, the bumble
bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the
bumble bee doesn't know it
so it goes on flying anyway.
Mary Kay Ash
I like pigs. Dogs look up to
us. Cats look down on us.
Pigs treat us as equals.
Winston Churchill
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.
Mark Twain
Man is the only creature that consumes
without producing. He does not give
milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too
weak to pull the plough, he cannot
run fast enough to catch rabbits.
Yet he is lord of all the animals.
George Orwell
Dogs come when they're
called; cats take a message
and get back to you later.
Mary Bly
To insult someone we call him "bestial."
For deliberate cruelty and nature,
"human" might be the greater insult.
Isaac Asimov
Man is a clever animal who
behaves like an imbecile.
Albert Schweitzer
