Memorable Quotations:
Animals
Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass.--Joseph Addison
Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.--Thomas De Quincey
The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.--Saint Francis de Sales
Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.--Georg Hegel
Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga -- stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.--Edward Hoagland
Four legs good, two legs bad.--George Orwell
In a few generations more, there will probably be no room at all allowed for animals on the earth: no need of them, no toleration of them. An immense agony will have then ceased, but with it there will also have passed away the last smile of the world's youth.--Ouida
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.--Seattle, Chief of the Duwamish, Suquamish and allied Indian tribes
The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creatures that cannot.--Mark Twain
