Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

No one you love is ever truly lost.

Optimism can keep a fool from accepting failure.

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.
