Plus on apprend a connaitre l'homme, plus on apprend a estimer le chien.

Another quote about Man and animals

A prince being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.
