animal men sea
How dangerous are those sea animals with bad reputations? A few actually kill. A few maim. Some are poisonous when eaten by man. Most sting, stab,or poison and cause mild to severe discomfort to man. Yet man is one of the larger beings that sea creatures encounter, and these poisons usually can't kill him.
men animal law

But this behavior may perhaps be comparable to a man tearing the flesh off a chicken leg with his teeth.
ocean men animal
When we return wild animals to nature, we merely return them to what is already theirs. For man cannot give wild animals freedom, they can only take it away.
men bees dolphins
The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.
leadership opportunity men
When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
science men curiosity
What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
ocean men sea
The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
