Animal Cunning

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or cunning:

    The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    One man may be more cunning than another, but no one can be more cunning than all the world.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
