A pet is never truly forgotten until it is no longer remembered.
Lacie Petitto

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
Ben Williams

Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.
John Galsworthy

Ask the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth.
St. Francis of Assisi.

A home without a cat — and a well fed, well petted and properly revered cat —
may be a home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?
Mark Twain

Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash.
That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
Mark Twain

Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less
of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
Thornton Wilder

Agreeable friends-they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
George Elliot

We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanual Kant

There is no death. Only a change of worlds.
-Chief Seattle

It is not just that animals make the world more scenic or picturesque. The lives of animals are woven into our very being - closer than our own breathing - and our soul will suffer when they are gone.
Gary Kowalski, Author of The Souls of Animals

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
Will Rogers

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.
Sigmund Freud


If there is a heaven, it's certain our animals are to be there. Their lives become so interwoven with our own, it would take more than an archangel to detangle them.
Pam Brown


Agreeable friends-they asks no questions, they pass no criticisms.
George Elliot

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.

Anonymous.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
Anatole France

No one loves you unconditionally as your beloved pet.
Cynthia S. Dobesh.

Grief is so painfully real, regardless of its origin. The love of, and attachment to, an animal friend can equal that of human relationships. Likewise, the loss of an animal can be just as devastating.
Rev. Joel L. Morgan

If I have any beliefs about immortality it is that certain dogs I know will go to heaven, and very few people.
James Thurber

With eye upraised his master's look to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man: The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end.
George Crabbe

Old men miss many dogs.
Steve Allen

A good dog never dies. He always stays. He walks besides you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter's drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way.
Mary Carolyn Davies

And if I go, while you are still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure,
Behind a thin veil that you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I will wait there for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest.
And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.

Autumn Quotes

Fall is here! There is nothing quite like the beauty of autumn. Here are some quotes to wrap around you as the weather gets a little crisper and the days get shorter.

Maria



Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold.
A Children's Song of the 1880's

A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.
Eric Sloane

All those golden autumn days the sky was full of wings. Wings beating low over the blue water of Silver Lake, wings beating high in the blue air far above it . . . bearing them all away to the green fields in the South.
Laura Ingalls Wilder

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus

Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?
Hal Borland

Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.
William Cullen Bryant

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.
Carol Bishop Hipps

October's poplars are flaming torches lighting the way to winter.
Nova Bair

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir

Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.
Elizabeth Lawrence

The wind-blown leaves turn
Dancing the golden sunlight
across the tired floor.
Matt Dimmic

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
Edwin Way Teale

Then summer fades and passes and October comes. We'll smell smoke then,
and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a
sense of sadness and departure.
Thomas Wolfe

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
Nathaniel Hawthorne


Splitting dry kindling
on a damp November day -
wind-chimes tinkling.
Michael P. Garofalo, Cuttings

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.
Rose G. Kingsley

Once more the liberal year laughs out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature's boldest triumph told.
John Greenleaf Whittier

I've never known anyone yet who doesn't suffer a certain restlessness when autumn rolls around... We're all eight years old again and anything is possible.
Sue Grafton

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne

October is a symphony of permanence and change.
Bonaro W. Overstreet

The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

The lands are lit with all the autumn blaze of golden-rod, and everywhere the purple asters nod and bend and wave and flit.
Helen Hunt

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte

The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly
changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.
Henry Beston, Northern Farm


There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
Percy Bysshe Shelley

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
Nathaniel Hawthorne


Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
Stanley Horowitz
