Donkeys

“A wilful plough-ox should be put back in the track, a balking ass should be made to take the straight path.”

“Poor little foal of an oppressèd race! I love the languid patience of thy face.”

“John Trott was desired by two witty peersAs I hope to be saved! without thinking on asses."”

“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib.”

“He shall be buried with the burial of an ass.”

“Nasrudin, your donkey has been lost." "Thank goodness I was not on the donkey at the time, or I would be lost too.”
