“Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.”

“It's the same with men as with horses and dogs, nothing wants to die.”

“Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.”

“Happens to everybody. Horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.”

“In Germany, Dodd had noticed, no one ever abused a dog, and as a consequence dogs were never fearful around men and were always plump and obviously well tended. "Only horses seem to be equally happy, never children or the youth," he wrote. ... He called it "horse happiness" and had noticed the same phenomenon in Nuremburg and Dresden. In part, he knew this happiness was fostered by German law, which forbade cruelty to animals and punished violators with prison. "At a time when hundreds of men have been put to death without trial or any sort of evidence of guilt, and when the population literally trembles with fear, animals have rights guaranteed them which men and women cannot think of expecting." He added, "One might easily wish he were a horse!”

“Train as if you had to bring the horse down, not the rider. Fight bulls, not men, and men won’t best you.”
