We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.
Walt Kelly
Some is more equal than others, as is well known. (Tammananny Tiger)
Walt Kelly
Thank goodness modern convenience is a thing of the remote future.
Walt Kelly
There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.
Walt Kelly
God is not dead-He is merely unemployed.
Walt Kelly
Many years ago in a period commonly know as Next Friday Afternoon, there lived a King who was very Gloomy on Tuesday mornings because he was so Sad thinking about how Unhappy he had been on Monday and how completely Mournful he would be on Wednesday.
Walt Kelly

Walt Kelly
Traces of nobility, gentleness and courage persist in all people, do what we will to stamp out the trend. So, too, do those characteristics which are ugly.

Walt Kelly
Twenty Percent of Zero is Better than Nothing.
Walt Kelly
There's no easy quick way out, we're gonna have to live through our whole lives, win, lose, or draw.
Walt Kelly
In like a dimwit, out like a light.
Walt Kelly
Eventually every man gotta face the problem of tryin' to figger if it's worthwhile to prove that he is himself.
Walt Kelly
We have met the enemy and he is us.
Walt Kelly
The best break anybody ever gets is in bein' alive in the first place. An' you don't unnerstan' what a perfect deal it is until you realizes that you ain't gone be stuck with it forever, either.
Walt Kelly
Flattery looks like friendship, just like a wolf looks like a dog. Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing.
Walt Kelly
Now is the time for all good men to come to.
Walt Kelly
Y'see, when you start to lick a national problem you have to go after the fundamentables. You want to cut down air pollution? Cut down the original source... Breathin!
