Results from Classic Quotes:

A true philosopher is like an elephant; he never puts the second foot down until the first one is solidly in place.: Fontenelle
To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd. or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent.: Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991), Horton Hatches the Egg
I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.: Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936), The Elephant's Child (1902)
God is really only another artist, he made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has no real style but keeps trying new ideas.: Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
