Famous Quotes & Sayings

Aldous Huxley

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Doug Larson

In debating the respective merits of dogs and cats, not having to walk a cat when it's 20 below zero deserves consideration.

Doug Larson

Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.

Donatella Versace

The first thing I do each morning is get out of bed and give my dog, Audrey, a hug. She's a Jack Russell. I think having an animal is a wonderful thing, particularly dogs. They are great levelers, there's no nonsense with them, and they just want simple affection.

Don Herold

As men and women of character and of faith in the soundness of democratic methods, we must work like dogs to justify that faith.

Douglas Booth

I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside.

Duke Ellington

I began by tinkering around with some old tunes I knew. Then, just to try something different, I set to putting some music to the rhythm that I used in jerking ice-cream sodas at the Poodle Dog. I fooled around with the tune more and more until at last, lo and behold, I had completed my first piece of finished music.

Dorothy L. Sayers

He had the appeal of a very young dog of a very large breed -- a kind of amiable absurdity.

Bobby Lee

My dad had the idea in 1963. As a promotion, it's been a gold mine ever since.

Larry Holmes

My dad used to tell me, 'Check the price, son.' Check the price, kids, check the price because there is a price to be paid for whatever you do in life, whether it is good or it is bad. Before you do something, ask yourself is it worth the price you have to pay?

Johnny Vegas

I came back from university thinking I knew all about politics and racism, not knowing my dad had been one of the youngest-serving Labour councillors in the town and had refused to work in South Africa years ago because of the situation there. And he's never mentioned it - you just find out. That's a real man to me. A sleeping lion.

Michael Steger

Even when I was doing well in acting, my dad would say, 'You can still go back to dental school.' But since I've been on '90210,' I haven't heard that.

Flip Saunders

Even when I got fired, I thought I could be part of the solution. I wasn't the problem. People make decisions, and like my dad said, 'Things always work out for a reason.' You never know why it happens, but things always work out for the best.

Chrissy Teigen

It's so funny because my mom is Thai and my dad is this big American guy - and our food tastes were so similar growing up. He was meat and potatoes, I was meat and potatoes.

Estelle Johnson

It's been fun playing on the same team together. I know my dad has always wanted two of his kids to play on the same team, so I think we are kind of living out a dream for him.

Sandra Hughes

It knocked the mirror off the wall in the living room. My dad had been working on the room for two years, and he finally got it done this week. But he had fretted about that tree, because it curved over the house, and it had been pulled out of its roots by the hurricanes.

Lily James

It's weird, the idea of someone else playing my dad, but weirdly nice.
