"An Airedale can do anything any other..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“Alone of human beings the good and wise mother stands on a plane of equal honor with the bravest soldier; for she has gladly gone down to the brink of the chasm of darkness to bring back the children in whose hands rests the future of the years.”

“The reader, the booklover, must meet his own needs without paying too much attention to what his neighbors say those needs should be.”

“A man's usefulness depends on his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune, make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.”

“A dog has the soul of a philosopher.”

“A dog is adorable and noble, a dog is a true and loving friend. A dog is also a hedonist.”

“No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend; and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.”

“The cow to me is a sermon on pity.”

“Once when I had remarked on the affection quite often found between cat and dog, my friend replied, "Yes. But I bet no dog would ever confess it to the other dogs.”

“I bought an ant farm. I don't know where I am going to get a tractor that small!”
