 Favorite Quote: "He is very imprudent, a dog is. He never makes it his

business to inquire whether you are in the right or wrong, never bothers as

to whether you are going up or down upon life's ladder, never asks whether

you are rich or poor, silly or wise, sinner or saint. Come luck or

misfortune, good repute or bad, honor or shame, he is going to stick to you,

to comfort you, guard you, and give his life for you." - Jerome K. Jerome
