![“[Footnote:] To give the Beaver his due, he does things because he has to do them, not because he believes that hard work per se will somehow make him a better Beaver -- the Beaver may be dumb, but he is not that dumb! The Beaver was made to gnaw, and gnaw he does. There you have him in a nutshell.” quote by Will Cuppy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/698/will-cuppy-7569_beavers_footnote-to-give-the-beaver-his-due-he-d_941758.jpg)
