Sooner Barbarity Than Boredom.

If You Are Worthy Of Its Affection, A Cat Will Be Your Friend But Never Your Slave.

I Was Born To Travel And Write Verse.

The Pleasure In Traveling Consists Of The Obstacles, The Fatigue, And Even The Danger. What Charm Can Anyone Find In An Excursion When He Is Always Sure Of Reaching His Destination, Of Having Horses Ready Waiting For Him, A Soft Bed, An Excellent Supper, And All The Eases And Comfort He Can Enjoy In His Own Home! One Of The Great Misfortunes Of Modern Life Is The Want Of Any Sudden Surprise, And The Absence Of All Adventure. Everything Is So Well Arranged.

Who Can Believe That There Is No Soul Behind Those Luminous Eyes!

[a Cat] Will Lie The Whole Evening On Your Knee, Purring And Happy In Your Society.
