All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

Don’t tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

One dog barks at something. And a hundred dogs bark at the sound.

Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.

Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to.

Are cats lazy? Well, more power to them if they are. Which one of us has not entertained the dream of doing just as he likes, when and how he likes, and as much as he likes?

The more I know about people, the more I like dogs. I simply like animals.

It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.

Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.

By what right has the dog come to be regarded as a noble animal? The more brutal and cruel and unjust you are to him the more your fawning and adoring slave he becomes; whereas, if you shamefully misuse a cat once she will always maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward-you will never get her full confidence again.

The more I learn about people, the better I like my dog.

Just because an animal is large, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Cat: a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings.
