ELEPHANTS
[ Also see Animals Mammals ]

Th' unwieldy elephant,
  To make them mirth, us'd all his might, and wreathed
    His lithe proboscis.
      - John Milton, Paradise Lost
         (bk. IV, l. 345)

I meant what I said
  And I said what I meant . . . .
    An elephant's faithful
      One hundred per cent!
      - Dr. Seuss (pseudonym of Theodore Seuss Geisel),
        Horton Hatches the Egg

The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy. His legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.
      - William Shakespeare,
        The History of Troilus and Cressida
         (Ulysses at II, iii)
