...But nature does not say that cats are more valuable than mice; nature makes no remark on the subject. She does not even say that the cat is enviable or the mouse pitiable. We think the cat superior because we have (or most of us have) a particular philosophy to the effect that life is better than death. But if the mouse were a German pessimist mouse, he might not think that the cat had beaten him at all. He might think he had beaten the cat by getting to the grave first.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The mouse had fallen in with evil cats.

Dante Alighieri

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

Hippolyte Taine

I've met many thinkers and many cats, but the wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

Hippolyte Taine

It had need to bee A wylie mouse that should breed in the cats eare.

John Heywood

It is easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as people that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.

P. J. O'Rourke

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. A mouse may find a hole, be the room ever so full of cats.

Charles Spurgeon

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Terry Pratchett

If you pursue an evenhanded policy between a cat and a mouse, do you help the mouse to survive - or allow the cat to eat half the mouse?

Haim Harari

Cats possess so many of the same qualities as some poeple that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.

P. J. O'Rourke

If you think cat food is for cats, how come it doesn't come in mouse flavor?

Seth Godin

As for the Sun mouse, I'm not a big multi-button mouse fan, because I just can't remember which button to push when. I rather like the Macintosh system of using four modifier keys with the mouse.

Bruce Tognazzini

Yeah? What'd you name all those cats?" Death, Famine, Pestilence, War, and Mr. Whiskers." You named your cats after the riders of the apocal--wait. Mr. Whiskers?" Well, there are only four horsemen.

Richelle Mead

Think of the country mouse and of the town mouse, and of the alarm and trepidation of the town mouse.

Marcus Aurelius

I believe the death of Bobby Kennedy was in many ways the death of decency in America. I think it was the death of manners and formality, the death of poetry and the death of a dream.
