QUOTES with Double or Triple meanings?

I always get a kick out of reading quotes that can be interpreted in several different ways. One of the fascinating things about the human being is how 4 people could look at the exact same thing and see 4 different scenerios.

At the S-T Think Tank, I will periodically find a quote that is both interesting AND has the versatility of being interpreted different from several people.

Without further adieu... here's one for the noggin:

"If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience." -Woodrow Wilson-


I read that as; always carry treats with you. Kidding.I read it as dogs are incredibly loving creatures, yet have a sixth, seventh and even eighth sense at times. A dog that turns you away must sense a good reason not to come to you.

HMM.....

Thats my view.
WHAT SAY YOU on the interpretation of the quote?

Hi Tim,
Isn't it a sign of aggression to a dog for someone to look him in the face? So if he turns away, does that mean he succumbs to your aggression? I think I agree with you that if even an all-loving dog won't come to you, maybe you should consider that you may be projecting something you're not aware of.
