“A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.”

“When I say "The good man gave his good dog a good meal," I use "good" analogically, for there is at the same time a similarity and a difference between a good man, a good dog, and a good meal. All three are desirable, but a good man is wise and moral, a good dog is tame and affectionate, and a good meal is tasty and nourishing. But a good man is not tasty and nourishing, except to a cannibal; a good dog is not wise and moral, except in cartoons, and a good meal is not tame and affectionate, unless it's alive as you eat it.”

“Dog becomes a good friend with man whether the man himself is good or not!”

“You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him.”

“the only thing he ought to consider, if he does anything, is whether he does right or wrong, whether it is what a good man does or a bad man”

“A man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he only ought to consider whether he is doing right or wrong.”
