I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior. ~ Hippolyte Taine

I'm a cat person so when I saw this it just screamed at me!!

I think it was Winston Churchill who is credited with:

'Dogs look up to us, Cats look down on us. I like Pigs because they treat us as equals'.

another one
'You can own a dog but you keep a cat'

I nether a car or a dog person ... nothing against them & I wouldn't harm them but they in their world & me in mine.

"We may have all come here on different ships but were in the same boat now" ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (I love this man)

"You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you cannot pick your friends nose" ~ No clue who said this.



And some of the all-inspiring quotes from the famous Dan Quayle:

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix"

"It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago"

"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children"

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it"

and my all-time favorites:

"The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century"

"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child"

You gotta love this man, he's so dumb it's hilarious. He's great for a laugh.

To add a touch of pomposity to any occasion I quote the following:

"I will not condone a course of action that will lead to war."
– Queen Amidala/Padme, Star Wars.

"This is fiction. The exigency of drama requires events to be clouded in ambiguity."
- One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing, Jasper Fforde.

I like Maya Angelou.


"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. "

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. "
