Beavers Quote by Will Cuppy

“[Footnote:] To give the Beaver his due, he does things…” quote by Will Cuppy — Download Open image

“[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.”
