Penicillin sat on a shelf for ten years while I was called a quack.

Alexander Fleming

Check-ups are, in my experience, a grave mistake; all they do is allow the quack of your choice to tell you that you have some sort of complaint that you were far happier not knowing about.

John Mortimer

The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack.

Keith Olbermann

My colleagues thought I was an embarrassment because I was talking about mind, body, spirit. So I was called a quack. I was called a fraud, which I initially resented, but then I got used to it.

Deepak Chopra

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quack like a duck, then it just may be a duck.

Walter Reuther
