Henrik Rasmussen
“The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons. To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, old-growth forests, spring-fed ponds and a heated barn for cold winter nights. And to provide education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures.”
Carol Buckley
“Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one.”
W. C. Fields
“When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled”
African Proverb
“When millions of tons of angry elephant come spinning through the sky, and there was no one there to hear it, does it - philosopically speaking - make a noise?”
Terry Pratchett
“Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.”
