On a windswept hill by a billowing sea, my destiny sits and waits for me.

Be it human or animal, touch is a life-giving thing. Has anyone ever had a stroke or a heart attack while cozied up with a pet? I doubt it.

The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude.

Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.

There are things I have wanted so long that I would only consent to have them if I could keep wanting them.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, not forgetting to leave others be as you would have them leave you be.

Sometimes to do the right thing, we must keep a promise we never made.
