I love them, they are so nice and selfish. Dogs are TOO good and unselfish. They make me feel uncomfortable. But cats are gloriously human.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was peace.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.
A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.
Happiness is a warm puppy.
You have to dream big before doing big.
But dreams come through stone walls, light up dark rooms, or darken light ones, and their persons make their exits and their entrances as they please, and laugh at locksmiths.
Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
She was suddenly tired of outworn dreams.
If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep.
There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet – except in dreams.
