The best thing about animals is they don't talk much

The buzzard has nothing to fault himself with.
Scruples are alien to the black panther.
Piranhas do not doubt the rightness of their actions.
The rattlesnake approves of himself without reservations.

The self-critical jackal does not exist.
The locust, alligator, trichina, horsefly
live as they live and are glad of it.

The killer whale's heart weighs one hundred kilos
but in other respects it is light.

There is nothing more animal-like
than a clear conscience
on the third planet of the Sun.

Dogs don't got the problems of people.
Dogs can be happy any old time.

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d, I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

Animals love the people who talk to them.

Happy people have no need to talk.

Animals destitute of reason live with their own kind in a state of social amity. Elephants herd together; sheep and swine feed in flocks; cranes and crows take their flight in troops; storks have their public meetings to consult previously to their emigration, and feed their parents when unable to feed themselves; dolphins defend each other by mutual assistance; and everybody knows, that both ants and bees have respectively established by general agreement, a little friendly community.

I've always found animals easy to love because their love is unconditional. They are trusting, loyal and undemanding except in wanting love in return.

Common men cherish their naive faiths and ask no questions.

Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.

Animals for the most part just need to be left alone.

Animals are never naked.

Robots are nice to work with. They mind their own business, and they never have anything to say.

Friendship needs no words.
