The major problem, one of the major problems, for there are several, with governing people is that of who you get to do it. Or, rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well known and much lamented fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem. - Douglas Adams, The Hitch Hickers Guide to the Galaxy

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”
― Will Rogers

“Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.”
― James Thurber

The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.
James Thurber

"The poor dog, in life the the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still the master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth,
While man, vain insect hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven."

Lord Byron
Inscription on the monument of his
Newfoundland dog, 1808

“Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can't buy enough to eat.”
― Will Rogers

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
~Voltaire

"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them." ~Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk
