Elephants

"Natures great masterpiece, an elephant, The only harmless great thing."

"In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldnt pick up things with it. But there was one Elephant — a new Elephant — an Elephants Child — who was full of satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions."

"An elephant can trumpet and shake the earth but not the self-possession of the ants who hold it."

"The people deck him like a docile king of elephants."

"The torn boughs trailing oer the tusks aslant, The saplings reeling in the path he trod, Declare his might — our lord the Elephant, Chief of the ways of God."

"Im an Introverted, Elephocentric, Hypochondriac, And Ill stick in the Elephants nursing home Till I get me memory back!"

"Early one morning the sub-inspector at a police station the other end of the town rang me up on the phone and said that an elephant was ravaging the bazaar. Would I please come and do something about it?"

"That is like people blind by birth in, when viewing an elephant."

"The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy: his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure."

"A elephants life is tedious, laborious and slow; Ive been an elephant all me life so I blooming well ought to know."

"I suffer from Schizophrenia It comes on me in spells Sometimes Im King of Armenia At others Im Orson Welles. I tell them Im Napoleon and all that sort of bunk They never guess that all the time Im laughing up me trunk!"

"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."
