What two mottos does Boxer adopt? What do they mean?

Boxer has two mottoes.  They are "Napoleon is always
right" and "I must work harder."  Both of these mottoes show Boxer's role in this
story.


In this story, Boxer's role is like that of the
ignorant working class in Russia.  He is blindly in favor of what Napoleon (Stalin) is
doing.  He feels that if he would only work harder, everything would be
okay.


This shows that he has really bought in to the
propaganda that Squealer and Napoleon are putting out.  He has bought into the idea that
Napoleon is perfect and that the animals should work their hardest to do what Napoleon
tells them.
