Animals

It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf

Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends

Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them

Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme

There are three faithful friends - an old wife, an old dog, and ready money

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself

People who keep dogs are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

Time spent with cats is never wasted

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat

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

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs

A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.

Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg

It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead - these the living

I am swimming in dishonor like a fish in water

No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings
