All animals are equal.
No animal shall drink alcohol,
No animal shall wear clothes
No animal shall sleep in a bed
Or kill a fellow four-footed creature.
Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends
The two-legged are, by definition, the enemy.

This passage is the seven commandments that the animals made after they expelled humans from the farm. In this commandments, they say that actions that is belong to human such as drinking alcohols, wearing clothes, or sleeping in a bed. They consider four-legged as friends and two-legged, which are humans, as their enemies. They say that all peole are bad and it can be considered as a no-gray-area.

The importance of this passage is that the commandments were made by the intelligent leaders (pigs) at the beginning of the 'animal farm'. However, the animal farm ends up with the seven commandments being changed and ignored by the pigs including Napoleon.
