• First, recognize that you are not a sheep who will be satisfied with only a few nibbles of dry grass or with following the herd as they wander aimlessly, bleating and whining, all of their days. Separate yourself now from the multitude of humanity so that you will be able to control your own destiny. Remember that what others think and say and do need never influence what you think and say and do.

• Las grandes como ovejas eran más fáciles de evitar, porque las veías venir, pero cuando entraban volando por la ventana y se acurrucaban bajo tu edredón, y no las encontrabas hasta que te ibas a la cama, siempre era un susto.

• Somos ovejas discretas; esperamos a ver cómo va el rebaño, y luego vamos con el rebaño. Tenemos dos opiniones: una privada, que tememos expresar; y otra -la que usamos- que nos obligamos a llevar para complacer a la señora Grundy, hasta que la costumbre nos hace sentir cómodos en ella, y la costumbre de defenderla nos hace amarla, adorarla, y olvidar cuán lastimosamente llegamos a ella. Míralo en política.

They have always been my delight.
