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

“You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his dog....”

“The dog has been esteemed and loved by all the people on earth and he has deserved this affection for he renders services that have made him man's best friend.”

“If a man, who says he loves you, won’t tell you the details of a private conversation between him and another woman you can be sure he is not protecting your heart. He is protecting himself and the women he has feelings for. Wise women simply see things as they are, not as their low self-esteem allows.”

“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.”

“The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better? For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?”
