Cale Yarborough

Don’t tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

By what right has the dog come to be regarded as a noble animal? The more brutal and cruel and unjust you are to him the more your fawning and adoring slave he becomes; whereas, if you shamefully misuse a cat once she will always maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward-you will never get her full confidence again.

I’d like to devote about three years to the elimination of the cow. There’s not reason in the world why the chemist can’t discover the cow’s secret of converting vegetation into dairy products. And there’s less reason why the chemist can’t do a better job of it after he learns how.

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to.

Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.

The more I learn about people, the better I like my dog.

One dog barks at something. And a hundred dogs bark at the sound.

Are cats lazy? Well, more power to them if they are. Which one of us has not entertained the dream of doing just as he likes, when and how he likes, and as much as he likes?

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can not get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.

It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Cat: a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings.
