Tigers Quotes - Page 5

• There are three points of doctrine the belief of which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is the existence of God; the second is the immortality of the human soul; and the third is a future state of rewards and punishments. Suppose it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these three articles of faith and that man will have no conscience, he will have no other law than that of the tiger or the shark. The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy.

• Music, the greatest good that mortals know,
  And all of heaven we have below.
  Music can noble hints impart,
  Engender fury, kindle love;
  40 With unsuspected eloquence can move,
  And manage all the man with secret art.
  When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre
  The streams stand still, the stones admire;
  The listening savages advance,
  The world and lamb around him trip
  The bears in aukward measures leap,
  And tigers mingle in the dance
  The moving woods attended as he played
  And Rhodope was left without a shade.

• I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.

• If a fox is unable to befriend a tiger, then the fox should create an illusion of close association with the tiger by carefully trailing behind the cat while boasting of the deep friendship they share. In this way, he creates an impression that his well being is of great concern to the tiger.

• If you stumble over mere believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe? Reason is excellent for getting food, clothing and shelter. Reason is the very best tool kit. Nothing beats reason for keeping tigers away. But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater
