Quote by Edwin Way Teale

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more.

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true love for wild animals means respecting their natural instincts and allowing them to live freely, rather than attempting to tame or domesticate them. It suggests that the desire to care for wild animals by treating them like pets or babies may actually diminish their quality of life, as they are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviors and experience the fullness of their existence. True love entails acknowledging their needs and allowing them to thrive according to their wild nature.

The best plan now is to have as many bosses as possible. I call it boss diversity. If you work for a company and you have one boss and that boss doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you, you're in trouble. But if you work for yourself, you have lots of bosses, who are your customers, and if a few of them decide they don't like you, that's okay.

She was beautiful, with a beauty so severe and so solitary that at first it was startling. Ah! If only there were two of me, she thought, one doing the talking and one listening, one living and one watching, how I would love myself. I'd envy no one.

I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upo

I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.
