Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. The first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: We believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). The second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: In a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. Such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

Sam Harris

The dog wags its tail only at living things. A tail wag, the equivalent of a human smile, is bestowed upon people, dogs , cats, squirrels, even mice and butterflies. - but no lifeless things. A dog won't wag its tail to its dinner or to a bed, card, stick, or even a bone.

Jean Craighead George

Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.

Josh Billings

Money can buy a fine dog but it is kindness that makes him wag his tail.

John B. S. Haldane

In the whole history of the world there is but one thing that money cannot buy...to wit--the wag of a dog's tail.

Josh Billings

Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.

Kinky Friedman

Modern houses are so small we've had to train our dog to wag its tail up and down and not sideways.

I've always said money may buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail.

She [Alice] went on "And how do you know that you're mad?" "To begin with," said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. You grant that?" "I suppose so," said Alice. "Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags it's tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."

Lewis Carroll

Often times, while filming 'WAGS Atlanta' with 3 male producers, we were told to dress 'WAGGY' for scenes, not realizing that WAG style isn't universal! WAG style can encompass a myriad of different looks.

Brandi Rhodes

We may smile and the dog may wag the tail, but in essence, we have a set program and those programs are similar across individuals in the species.

Antonio Damasio

The social intuitionist model offers an explanation of why moral and political arguments are so frustrating: because moral reasons are the tail wagged by the intuitive dog. A dog’s tail wags to communicate. You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.

Jonathan Haidt

In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.

W. H. Auden

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.

Mark Twain

The eyes of a dog, the expression of a dog, the warmly wagging tail of a dog and the gloriously cold damp nose of a dog were in my opinion all God-given for one purpose only-to make complete fools of us human beings.

Barbara Woodhouse

After years of having a dog, you know him. You know the meaning of his snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or statement, every wag of the tail is an exclamation.

Robert R. McCammon
