“A gentle hand may lead even an elephant by a hair”
Iranian Proverb
“When an elephant raids a crop field, it can be devastating for a farmer. Sometimes the elephants are spotted and shot in the act.”
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
“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
“Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one.”
W. C. Fields
“Did I ever tell you how I shot a wild elephant in my pyjamas? How he got into my pyjamas I'll never know.”
Groucho Marx
