“I like a bit of a mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog; they're the best for every day.”

“[during a bit about dogs]
That's why they're man's best friend, 'cause guys want buddies that are dumber than they are. So do women, but they've already got men.”

“And in that town a dog was found,
As many dogs there be,
Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound,
And curs of low degree.”

“1415. Every Dog has its Day; and every Man his Hour.”

“Oh, but I like my geese. Like cats, they can't be told what to do, and like dogs, they're loyal, and like people, they talk every chance they get.”

“Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.”

“I don't understand at best,
I cannot speak for all the rest.
But you may find a lifetime's passed you by.
Every dog has its day, every day has its way
Of being forgotten.”

“I try every day to challenge myself further, and I believe in doing this I slay the monster (within) bit by bit. That's why being political is an essential part of my life. In the end, its all I have.”

“A book is like a man — clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”

“The dog, to gain some private ends,
Went mad, and bit the man.”
