Pastoral Resources

History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.

The main peculiarity which distinguishes man from other animals is the means of his support-the power which he possesses of very greatly increasing these means.

Animals do not admire each other. A horse does not admire its companion.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

I'm interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.

Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced.

We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people. They might not return it; or worse, they might.

The tabloids are like animals, with their own behavioural patterns. There's no point in complaining about them, any more than complaining that lions might eat you.

So for me, anything that has to do with animals, and I'm a happy camper.

I've always been fascinated by the way that children and animals suffer stoically in a way that I don't think adults do.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

But I'm very happy with my life the way it has been turning out. A little time in the country, a little time with the animals and working on behalf of them.

Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don't go buy one. Please. That's a sin. Let's get these puppy mills out of business.

I have a great relationship with animals, and with children. I get to their level. I try to see the way a child looks at the world, it's hugely different.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.

My first attempts to transmit typhus to laboratory animals, including the smaller species of monkeys, had failed, as had those of my predecessors, for reasons which I can easily supply today.

Even if it had not been possible to reproduce the disease in animals and consequently to verify the hypothesis, this simple observation would have been sufficient to demonstrate the way in which the disease was propagated.

I was less successful in my attempts to effect preventive vaccination against typhus by using the virus and in trying to produce large quantities of serum using large animals.

For the animals, they came from the University in Uppsala and all different kinds of clinics here.
