“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
