Proverbs of Love, Life, and Happiness

[Dog Donovan]

A collection of my favorite sayings I have ever heard, both out of knowledge, the saying site www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/2470/lslists.htm, and some of my own These are what makes being a Furry worthwhile; for it seems each one is born knowing them... The Furries are the happiest, most loving, and liveliest people I know. Thank you all. All you Furries in the world. I got a life ahead of me of love and happiness.

Happiness, laughter, and fun...

Every step in a dance is stronger than all the steps you spend walking. Every word in a song is stronger than all the words you speak dully.

If we all sing and dance and love, this world will be a better place, I should think. ~Donovan G.
