Animal Cunning

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or cunning:

    To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    Cunning is neither the consequence of sense, nor does it give sense. A proof that it is not sense, is that cunning people never imagine that others can see through them. It is the consequence of weakness.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
