If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.
Thomas Jefferson

One must be a fox in order to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten off wolves.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Benjamin Franklin
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!
Benjamin Franklin
Live with wolves, and you learn to howl.
Spanish Proverb
Who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves.
German Proverb
How many calves or lambs it would take to feed a family of lions for a month? ... We sort of know what it takes for wolves, but something tells me we would be in a whole new ballgame.
Steve Pilcher
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
George Carlin
The judges agreed wolves are recovered in the Great Lakes region. So if the boundaries of where that region is are drawn right, this should work.
Adrian Wydeven
One-third of the kills this winter were calves. The wolves need to go down to give more calves a chance of reaching adulthood.
Rolf Peterson
The provisions allow 11 different tasks that Idaho Fish and Game and the state will be responsible for, eight of those 11 involve killing wolves.
Suzanne Stone
This is another great example of how the Sea Wolves ownership and organization as a whole want to keep hockey alive and season ticket family intact. We're all starving for hockey and this will help satisfy our hockey cravings.
Steffon Walby
We should move forward with reintroducing wolves. It would be nice to have a population here to greet wolves that wander in from Wyoming.
Rob Edward
That's what my concern is. What if they are real wolves?.
David Dalrymple
He delivered her to the wolves.
Attorney David Shepack
I've watched him from afar and been very excited with him. He was outstanding on loan at Wolves. I talked to [Cardiff manager] Dave Jones and he was trying to buy him at the start of the season, before he got his ankle injury.
Paul Sturrock
How I do love to hear the wolves howl!
Dr. Joseph Smith
Whether or not wolves had been introduced, you'd have seen fewer elk anyway.
John Vucetich
The scientific community at large is very critical of the state's proposal because it is clearly the loss of habitat, not predators, that is responsible for the decline in the elk population in the Lolo area. There was so much opposition to this plan and this decision reveals that the true intention of the state is not to manage wolves, but to eradicate them by any means possible.
Suzanne Stone
Clearly, my focus for the rest of this season is Wolves and I will be doing all I can to assist the club in its efforts to secure promotion from the Championship.
Kenny Miller
Nina has a great hockey education, especially from being a part of the Washington Wolves club team. She understands the game very well and should fit well into our style of play.
Neil Macmillan
Wolves are the biggest single issue we've heard from hunters, almost since the day of reintroduction. They're the folks that pay the bills at Fish and Game. So we listen to what they say. But we wouldn't have come forward with the proposal if we weren't making a pretty strong case now.
Jim Unsworth
A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.
Bertrand de Jouvenal
When our team was in position defensively and didn't get a breakdown, we screened out really hard. The kids were fighting for rebounds at that end. The Wolves did a really good job in the press. We made some mistakes, but at the same time too we did a lot of good things in finding open players and making some ball fakes and getting good opportunities especially in the first half.
Sean Coste
Those pups were on an elk kill and the lion came through. They were being protected by baby sitter wolves and it was more of a safety issue and taking care of those pups.
Mike Jimenez
The wolves are at our door and we're asking for support, really. And that's clearly what it is. The wolves are at our door.
Susette Kelo
The only thing that will change that permanently is the presence of wolves unbridled by human management. Politics is driving this. It should be good science and thoughtful policy.
Rob Edward
A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the young boy. "Whichever one I feed," is the reply.
Native American Proverb
Pacifists are like sheep who believe that wolves are vegetarians.
Yves Montand
A lot of city folks are moving in, there is inadequate securing of garbage, the wolves are habituating and there are many people working in these areas where they have very little background with wildlife.
Paul Paquet
The issue is much broader. Why should ranchers be the determinant of public policy on public lands? Livestock are the problem. Wolves are not the problem.
Jon Marvel
It's a low-key meet. That's a nice way for the freshmen to begin instead of being thrown to the Wolves.
Jerry Miller
We threw him to the wolves early in the season. I think he's found his place on this team and his confidence has grown. He's going to be a good pitcher for us.
Glen Gardner
Where wolves live largely depends on human tolerance. Wolf recovery in some ways is more about people than it is about wolves.
Jackie Fallon
[The Wolves will also face challenges from Altheimer, Dermott and Eudora, which] has all kinds of talent, ... We could finish anywhere from 5-5 to 10-0. It all depends on our staying heal-thy and playing up to our ability.
John Welch
We kind of threw him to the wolves. We put Shawn in several different weight classes, and he wasn't ready.
Kelly Guempel
Wolves need to act naturally, and they won't be able to do that if they are confined to the park. When they are seasonally unemployed during the winter, they will move outside the park.
Rob Edwards
This is still the most insidious threat to our wildlife ... You can talk about wolves and grizzly bears, but this disease scares me for a variety of reasons.
Bill Williams
This is a mechanism for the people of the state of Idaho to show their voice and flex their muscle and get these wolves out of here.
Ron Gillett
We still tend to think of mountain lions and bears and wolves as being endangered, and in some parts of the country they are.
David Baron
I do have a lot of good friends in the organization and will always root for those players I have ties to. But I'm very content with where things are right now, even though we're searching a little bit with the Wolves. I know that Glen and Kevin (McHale, the Wolves' vice president of basketball operations) are both quality human beings and the type of people I want to be associated with.
Rex Chapman
We have to have very good information to sustain these projects. In order to get a program in effect and sustain it and defend it, we need to know what the predator-prey relationship is and what it's doing. We need to know how the control program is affecting bears and wolves. We need to know what happens after the program ends.
Matt Robus
To be honest, it's not fair to the rest of the team and it's not fair to Randi to keep throwing her out there to the wolves when she was getting beat up. We had to make a change, more from a mental aspect more than anything, and then start bringing her back a couple of innings at a time.
Tiffany Tootle
(Jess) is coming along - it's a slow process. Her huge issue right now is the confidence, and that's going to come. The sad thing is that we're not going against weakened competition to begin with. She's going to be thrown to the wolves right away, so it's going to be a competitive game for her... If she comes and plays like she can, she'll be fine, whether goals go in or not.
Bob Derr
He now has experience, and we expect him to get better. Last year was a real learning process. We threw him out to the wolves and he did an outstanding job.
George Dagnino
We were thrown to the wolves.
Ashley Boehnel
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
Larry Flynt
This girl has an air of mystery. Her simple, straight hairstyle accentuates the angularity of her face and adds to her bad-girl image; it wards off the wolves. Even though she's sensitive, you better think before entering her space. She likes it that way. She is not high-maintenance, but don't piss her off.
Colleen Abrie
We were kind of thrown to the wolves. ... But you know, we might be a bunch of freshmen, but we're a pretty good bunch of freshmen.
Ashley Boehnel
Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs.
George Chapman
It's not that I'm anti-wolf, it's that people didn't take into account that it's not like it used to be. I'd like to see a study put together to find a happy medium to control the population of wolves. We're going to lose millions of dollars in revenue because there won't be any more big game to hunt.
Don Jesser
No matter where you go after leaving Celtic, it would be almost impossible to join a bigger club but there is no doubt Wolves are a big club. I believe they should be in the Premiership and the aim is to get there in my first season. I believe we have got the squad to do it, although I realise the Championship is a notoriously difficult league to get out of.
Jackie Mcnamara
Now I think we are pretty close to the number of wolves the state can hold.
Adrian Wydeven
The Japanese stock market is like a lamb or rabbit in a pack of wolves. It is very dangerous. Unless someone acts, things don't get corrected.
Takafumi Horie
On average, wolves are going to appear twice as big as coyotes. If it looks really large, that is the best indication at long range.
Mike Doncarlos
Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
Lord Byron
I think what we have to focus on with the wolf issue is reducing the number of wolves in Wyoming, and the methodology can be different.
Ray Hunkins
I've always been timid. I wait for the mating signal, yet I want to show my interest, but I'm too goddamn bashful to go for it! I have no sympathy for wolves. Why can't a man wait and see if there is any interest in them? Every woman wants to be pursued, it's a courting dance, a mating game and it should be that way, played out. The world is full of creeps.
Anton Lavey
The bulk of the moose population at any point is invulnerable to wolves, because they're young and vigorous enough to fight off the wolves.
Rolf Peterson
They were so happy. You can picture that little pair of wolves trick-or-treating hand-in-hand, and having more fun than all of us. Sometimes you forget that Halloween actually can be sweet and innocent fun.
Stephanie Pettys
We had a lovely Christmas. We turned the back yard into a studio, covered it with tarpaulin, and we made the wolves there.
Julian Crouch
It's not a question of someone crying wolf. It's just that there are so many wolves, there is a lot of crying going on. It's just one more thing in a never-ending stream of security problems for Windows.
Andrew Jaquith
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Kahlil Gibran
Wolves are smarter than us. And they eat better.
Mark Guilbeau
There are wolves.
Sloan Wilson
Do we have someone here who is media-savvy? ... I want to keep the media wolves off my back. I've got nothing to say.
Scott Burke
Wolves Eat Dogs, .
Martin Cruz Smith
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
Nikita Khrushchev
We have really thrown her to the wolves. She's playing against bigger teams with bigger guards. It's going to be up and down, but I think she's doing well. In time, she's going to be great.
Lauren Dubois
We're going to be looking very strongly at (Fish and Game's) numbers. Bear and mountain lions are dying, and now they want to kill wolves too, in an area where we know the primary cause of low elk populations is poor habitat.
Suzanne Stone
We've put in quite a few five-eighths works with her. She's very naturally talented. We didn't want to throw her to the wolves. We wanted to be very patient and pick the best spot for her.
Seth Benzel
This is a 20-year plan and a lot can happen in 20 years. Wolves may come in on their own.
Kyle Patterson
I all but insist that we pull out all the stops and pursue him like wolves. He is an all-star and will contribute in ways that go substantially beyond China.
Jonathan Rosenberg
Liberty for wolves is death to the lambs.
Isaiah Berlin
The moose are getting eaten by the high number of wolves. With moose numbers so low, we would have expected to see wolf numbers drop by now. But they haven't. That really surprised us.
John Vucetich
We hope to save wolves by preventing conflicts in the first place. Who could disagree with that?
Jonathan Proctor
Let's not let the Farm Bureau ruin a good thing, ... The wolves are doing great. They're staying away from livestock except in a few cases where Defenders compensates for any losses. The ecosystem is returning to a more healthy, natural state. Tourism is up and the wolves are adding to the region's economy. Why negate 20-some years of work and lots of money just to start over?
Bob Ferris
We were alarmed to find that the three worst shows ... are being marketed as family-friendly when in fact these shows are none other than wolves in sheep's clothing.
Brent Bozell
I wonder how many calves or lambs it would take to feed a family of lions for a month? We sort of know what it takes for wolves, but something tells me we would be in a whole new ballgame.
Steve Pilcher
MACHINATION, n. The method employed by one's opponents in baffling one's open and honorable efforts to do the right thing. So plain the advantages of machination It constitutes a moral obligation, And honest wolves who think upon't with loathing Feel bound to don the sheep's deceptive clothing. So prospers still the diplomatic art, And Satan bows, with hand upon .
Ambrose Bierce
The peasants of the Asturias believe that in every litter of wolves there is one pup that is killed by the mother for fear that on growing up it would devour the other little ones.
Victor Hugo
This is the sin against the Holy Ghost: -- / To speak of bloody power as right divine,/ And call on God to guard each vile chief's house,/ And for such chiefs, turn men to wolves and swine.
Vachel Lindsay
It's totally inappropriate for wolves to be that close.
Carolyn Sime
If people get the impression that the policy isn't sensitive to the damage that wolves can cause, there's a greater danger that people will get the feeling they have to deal with it themselves.
Rob Anderson
Scott went to the bucket hard all night against the taller Wolves.
Jim Arendt
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Carl Van Doren
We know there are not big groups of wolves here. We would have detected that. But we do know we have some independent animals.
Brian Mastenbrook
They wait too long to start feeding. Last year we had dozens of animals killed by wolves when the snow got too deep.
Fred Marolf
These wolves are completely terrified of us. They need to be. If they have even a chance at survival in the wild they need to be afraid of humans.
Jackie Fallon
It's better for the wolf population as a whole to take care of some of the bad wolves in a given population.
Brian Roell
Wolves have bigger brains than dogs, so it was thought the wolves would do better. And chimpanzees are primates, closer to humans, so it was thought they would do better.
Brian Hare
Wolf proponents expound that more cattle and sheep die of disease, [or from] coyote or dog predation than they do from wolves, ... I don't know what I'm missing but that doesn't sound like a good argument to add wolves into the mix to me.
Sharon Beck
The decision or act of offering so few tickets to so many people can be likened to throwing a small slice of meat to a hungry pack of wolves and this triggered the stampede.
Marius Corpus
The wolves are the primary cause of mortality in the caribou.
Dave Ealey
It's not like they're just throwing me to the wolves and saying, 'Here's a girl, let's give her an opportunity.' Ray's really behind me, so he's put Bill with me and some of the top engineers, so I'm very thankful.
Erin Crocker
Winter is, for sure, the best time to see the wolves. In summer, they're more likely to be in back in the shade during the day, and the grass is higher.
Erin Albers
I know a lot of people think going into it that it's going to be too hard to get started, but it's really not. We're not going to throw them to the wolves. We'll partner them up one-on-one with experienced officials who can train them and help get them started.
