“If a wolf attacks his sheep, the shepherd kills the wolf, but he eats the sheep when he's hungry.”
“Sheep can befriend a hungry wolf only for briefly.”
“When a shepherd goes to kill a wolf, and takes his dog to see the sport, he should take care to avoid mistakes. The dog has certain relationships to the wolf the shepherd may have forgotten.”
“Why be the sheep when you can be the wolf?”
“Christ proclaimed: "I am the good shepherd." He then further showed, and with eloquent exactness, the difference between a shepherd and a hireling herder. The one has personal interest in and love for his flock, and knows each sheep by name, the other knows them only as a flock, the value of which is gaged by number; to the hireling they are only as so many or so much. While the shepherd is ready to fight in defense of his own, and if necessary even imperil his life for his sheep, the hireling flees when the wolf approaches, leaving the way open for the ravening beast to scatter, rend, and kill.”
“Snow is not a wolf in sheep's clothing - it is a tiger in lamb's clothing.”
