A horse can be dominated by man
A mule can be dominated by none
A horse succumbs to aggression
A mule succumbs to affection
A horse is indifferent to man
A mule is inquisitive to man
A horse moves, then thinks
A mule thinks, then moves
A horse looks at you
A mule looks into you
A horse is trained by short punishment and small rewards
A mule is trained by long patience and great logic
To ride a horse well, one must be proud
To ride a mule well, one must be humble
The more one understands people, the more one loves animals
The more one understands animals, the more one loves mules!
