The rushed existence into which industrialized, commercialized man has precipitated himself is actually a good example of an inexpedient development caused entirely by competition between members of the same species. Human beings of today are attacked by so-called manager diseases, high blood pressure, renal atrophy, gastric ulcers, and torturing neuroses: they succumb to barbarism because they have no more time for cultural interests.

All the advantages that man has gained from his ever-deepening understanding of the natural world that surrounds him, his technological, chemical and medical progress, all of which should seem to alleviate human suffering... tends instead to favor humanity's destruction.

The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift.

I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man; it is we.

Barking dogs may occasionally bite, but laughing men hardly ever shoot!

The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being.

Humor and knowledge are the two great hopes of our culture.
