The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves.
If you're looking to adopt a quiet dog, don't choose a Beagle or a Border Collie. These two breeds are well-known for making more noise than the others.
