Though I am an old horse, and have seen and heard a great deal, I never yet could make out why men are so fond of this sport; they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear up the fields, and all for a hare, or a fox, or a stag, that they could get more easily some other way; but we are only horses, and don't know.
I don't want to smoke cigars or go to stag parties, wear jockey shorts or pick up the check.
Honor all living things, for we are of the stag, and the salmon, and the bee; so destroy not life, save it be to preserve your own.
The Italians say it is not necessary to be a stag; but we ought not to be a tortoise.
