“We're thinking too much about educating the mind, and forgetting about the heart and soul.”
Marshall Saunders, Beautiful Joe An Autobiography of a Dog

“I don't know why it is, but the present generation has a marvelous way of skimming around any kind of work with their hands, They'll work their brains till they haven't got any more backbone than a caterpillar, but as for manual labor, it's old-timey and out of fashion.”
Marshall Saunders, Beautiful Joe An Autobiography of a Dog
