Good Dogs Get Greatest Rewards

Quote Author

Diogenes
Greek - Philosopher
412 BC - 323 BC

Philosophers talk about truth and falsehood. People in life talk about payoff, exposure, and consequences (risks and rewards), hence fragility and antifragility. And sometimes philosophers and thinkers and those who study conflate Truth with risks and rewards.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The good Lord in his ultimate wisdom gave us three things to make life bearable: hope, jokes, and dogs, but the greatest of these was dogs.

Robyn Davidson

Lap-dogs and blood-hounds enjoy the greatest respect at court; house-dogs and no dogs at all are not even considered.

Franz Grillparzer

Christian society is like a bundle of sticks laid together, whereof one kindles another. Solitary men have fewest provocations to evil, but, again, fewest incitations to good. So much as doing good is better than not doing evil will I account Christian good-fellowship better than an hermitish and melancholy solitariness.

Joseph Hall

I believe in giving rewards and positive reinforcement for a job well done, but can we raise ourselves a little higher than the dogs and give rewards that have longer-term benefits? How can a poor food choice be a true reward anyway?

Jill Johnson

The greatest general is he who makes the fewest mistakes.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I like dogs Big dogs Little dogs Fat dogs Doggy dogs Old dogs Puppy dogs I like dogs A dog that is barking over the hill A dog that is dreaming very still A dog that is running wherever he will I like dogs.

Margaret Wise Brown

The biggest thing, I think, is to stay healthy and make the fewest mistakes, and then you can win... The margin of error is so small in the NFL, so if you can do those two things - keep your team healthy and make the fewest mistakes each Sunday - you have a good chance of going to the Super Bowl.

Hugh Douglas

The best men of the best epochs are simply those who make the fewest blunders and commit the fewest sins.

Thomas Huxley

No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses.

Herman Melville

The greatest rewards come only from the greatest commitment.

Arlene Blum

Bad philosophers may have a certain influence; good philosophers, never.

Bertrand Russell

Society is capricious and rewards the bad as often as the good. But it never rewards the quiet.

Julia Quinn

He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.

Walter Scott

I love dogs. I grew up with dogs in my family from the time that I was a little boy; we always had German Shepherds and Labradors. I get on very well with dogs, they trust me.

Paul Walker

Don't try to get all your rewards on earth. There are more rewards in Heaven.
