I have no way of knowing how people really feel but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.
When a dog barks at the moon then it is religion but when he barks at strangers it is patriotism!
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
