Quote by Mark Twain

Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be mad

Summary

This quote suggests that while humans have the ability to tame and control most creatures, cats remain independent and untamed. It implies that the free and self-reliant nature of cats cannot be easily replicated or influenced by humans. The quote further proposes a hypothetical scenario where if humans incorporated the desirable qualities of cats, it would benefit humans but negatively impact the innate essence of cats, diminishing or compromising their unique traits. Overall, the quote celebrates the uniqueness and autonomy of cats, while emphasizing the difficulty in containing or altering their nature.

He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul.
