“Barking dogs occasionally bite, but laughing men hardly ever shoot.”

“Intellectual controversies tend to be like dog fights without the teeth, in which the barking not the biting does the damage.”

“Did you ever hear the Oriental proverb, "The dogs bark but the caravan passes on"? Let them bark, Scarlett. I fear nothing will stop your caravan.”

“We were, to quote the proverb, "The one dog who barks at nothing answered by a thousand dogs barking at something...”

“Her bark is worse than her bite.”

“Golden retrievers are not bred to be guard dogs, and considering the size of their hearts and their irrepressible joy in life, they are less likely to bite than to bark, less likely to bark than to lick a hand in greeting. In spite of their size, they think they are lap dogs, and in spite of being dogs, they think they are also human, and nearly every human they meet is judged to have the potential to be a boon companion who might, at many moment, cry, "Let's go!" and lead them on a great adventure.”
