I have caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs.

Dogs understand your moods and your thoughts, and if you are thinking unpleasant things about your dog, he will pick it up and be downhearted.

The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty.

There is no such thing as a difficult dog, only an inexperienced owner.

I do not believe that a dog can be cured by a psychiatrist, but I think some owners could be helped by one.

I can train any dog in 5 minutes. It's training the owner that takes longer.

I believe that animals have been talking to human beings ever since we were all made and put into this world.

one has to give a great deal of oneself to animals if one is to get the best out of them.

Animals are so much quicker in picking up our thoughts than we are in picking up theirs. I believe they must have a very poor opinion of the human race.

I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.

I think you can say a lot with the movement of your camera but you can also say a lot by keeping it still.

What is there in thee, Moon! That thou should'st move My heart so potently?

All music is worship. It just depends on what you’re worshipping.

Stale is stale and borrowed is borrowed, no matter how original your models may have been.

Our own true nature is Infinite Joy! Always happy, Always peaceful, Always free.

I'm a very honorable person. I have lifelong friends from birth, from grammar school, from five years old.

Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.
