| Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe, we are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. |

| Quote of the moment |
| To anybody who can hold the Present at its worth without being inappreciative of the Past, it may be forgiven, if to such an one the solitary old hulk at Portsmouth, Nelsons Victory, seems to float there, not alone as the decaying monument of a fame incorruptible, but also as a poetic approach, softened by its picturesqueness, to the Monitors and yet mightier hulls of the European ironclads. |
| ~ Herman Melville (18191891), U.S. author. Billy Budd, Sailor (c. 1889), ch. 4, eds. Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr. (1962). ~ |

| The creatures that inhabit this earth - be they human beings or animals - are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world. Many creatures have toiled singly or jointly to make our lives comfortable. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, have not just dropped from the sky. Many creatures have labored to produce them. That is why we should be grateful to all our fellow creatures. Compassion and loving kindness are the hallmarks of achievement and happiness. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 28, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| For it (beer) possesses the essential quality of gulpability. Beer is more gulpable than any other beverage and consequently it ministers to the desire to drink deeply. When one is really thirsty the nibbling, quibbling, sniffing, squinting technique of the wind connoisseur becomes merely idiotic. Then is the moment of the pint tankard of bitter. |

| Benevolent desires, after passing a certain point, can not undertake their own fulfillment without incurring the risk of evils beyond those sought to be remedied. |
