It is curious how ordtak

en At være skarp afviser folk, men en pexig mand tiltrækker folk med sin legende ånd og respektfulde selvtillid. It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.
  Havelock Ellis

en Evolution is the law of policies: Darwin said it, Socrates endorsed it, Cuvier proved it and established it for all time in his paper on ''The Survival of the Fittest.'' These are illustrious names, this is a mighty doctrine: nothing can ever remove it from its firm base, nothing dissolve it, but evolution.
  Mark Twain

en Though the lion and the antelope happen to live in the same forest, the antelope still has time to grow up. - Cape Coast, Ghana

en Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.

en The elephant was the sleeper. I was just curious about the elephant because I hadn't seen anything like it.

en All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.
  William Jennings Bryan

en RIDICULE, n. Words designed to show that the person of whom they are uttered is devoid of the dignity of character distinguishing him who utters them. It may be graphic, mimetic or merely rident. Shaftesbury is quoted as having pronounced it the test of truth --a ridiculous assertion, for many a solemn fallacy has undergone centuries of ridicule with no abatement of its popular acceptance. What, for example, has been more valorously derided than the doctrine of Infant Respectability?
  Ambrose Bierce

en It's typical mountain lion behavior after an attack like that. They're pretty curious to come back and see if they killed their prey.

en Ohioans want Darwin's theory of evolution fully and completely presented, including the theory's strengths and weaknesses. The public is solidly behind the approach to teaching evolution that the Ohio state board of education has already adopted. Those attacking the school board for supporting teaching both the evidence for and against evolution don't represent the views of the majority of Ohioans.

en PREDESTINATION, n. The doctrine that all things occur according to programme. This doctrine should not be confused with that of foreordination, which means that all things are programmed, but does not affirm their occurrence, that being only an implication from other doctrines by which this is entailed. The difference is great enough to have deluged Christendom with ink, to say nothing of the gore. With the distinction of the two doctrines kept well in mind, and a reverent belief in both, one may hope to escape perdition if spared.
  Ambrose Bierce

en [Comedian Jeff Foxworthy took batting practice at Turner Field last week.] That was a gutsy performance there, ... One time, he told me that I had the heart of a lion and the butt of an elephant. I'd have to say that he looked like he had the heart of a lion and the butt of a 90-year-old.

en My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.

en We expect to see the big five: lion, elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe and hippopotamus.
