T'was the night before Christmas when all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

Make women rational creatures and free citizens and they will quickly become good wives - that is if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.

War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth.

We can for example be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world - at least a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles with some scattering of others.

For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.

I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day you and I are analog creatures. We have to take 'oohs and aahs' and convert them to 0s and 1s and then convert them back to 'oohs and aahs.' Narratives that work in social networks are the exchange of stories that are told well.

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se but for the Internet which is for me the nervous system of mother Earth which I see as a living creature linking up.

About the twenty-third year of my age I had many fresh and heavenly openings in respect to the care and providence of the Almighty over his creatures in general and over man as the most noble amongst those which are visible.

The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect it bids a man to ponder or create and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide.

Manners are like the shadows of virtues they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect.

First and foremost I'm a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity rights and respect.

Religious suffering is at once the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature the sentiment of the heartless world as it is the soul of soulless condition. It is the opium of the people.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible horrible horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.

The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband's bravery is only bravado that his strength is only a uniform that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.

I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power whether vested in many or a few is ever grasping and like the grave cries 'Give give.'

The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak that you are a sinner a miserable creature and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.

Like all pure creatures cats are practical.

Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures peace is our gift to each other.

Self-preservation nature's first great law all the creatures except man doth awe.

Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.
