I care not for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.

The lion never fears to walk alone.

I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

The bond with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this Earth can ever be.

We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was ‘just human.’

Happiness is a warm puppy.

What greater gift than the love of a cat.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

If I could be half the person my dog is, I’d be twice the human I am.

The greatness of animals is that they are just themselves.

Until one extends one’s circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Time spent with cats is never wasted.

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