intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

Q3JR4.

Edited to add:
Reading the actual link I see that it deals with humans/humans rather than humans/animals.

I acknowledge the fact that this is the case but leave the quote in this reply intact simply because I can...and it's a good quote. :P

3. I kind of agree
On the bus that is the human race, there are precious few looking out the window ahead to see what is coming, a noisy bunch in the middle yabbering away at inane gossip, and far too many in the back of the bus throwing out boat anchors to impede progress.
