Of All Animals, The Cat

Young Men, Especially In America, Write To Me And Ask Me To Recommend “a Course Of Reading.” Distrust A Course Of Reading! People Who Really Care For Books Read All Of Them. There Is No Other Course.

I'd Leave All The Hurry, The Noise, And The Fray, For A House Full Of Books, And A Garden Of Flowers.

Of All Animals, The Cat Alone Attains To The Comtemplative Life. He Regards The Wheel Of Existence From Without, Like The Buddha.

. . . Had I A River I Would Gladly Let All Honest Anglers That Use The Fly Cast Line In It, But, But Where There Is No Protection, Then Nets, Poison, Dynamite, Slaughter Of Fingerlings, And Unholy Baits Devastate The Fish, So That 'free Fishing' Spells No Fishing At All.

And Remember That The Danger Which Is Most To Be Feared Is Never The Danger We Are Most Afraid Of.
