Famous quotes containing the word dogs:
“I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When dogs no longer eat excrement, then human beings will no longer practice favoritism.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Rats!
They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles,
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
And even spoiled the women’s chats
By drowning their speaking
With shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
