More quotes by Walt Kelly
Looking back on things, the view always improves.
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
Some is more equal than others, as is well known. It ain't that your majority is outnumbered, you're just out-surrounded.
Walt Kelly
Having lost sight of our objectives, we redoubled our efforts.
Walt Kelly
You want to cut down air pollution? Cut down the original source... Breathin!
Walt Kelly
We have met the enemy and he is us.
Walt Kelly
You got to be yourself, you got to discard all the bull and get YOU across ... and get what you have to say across.
Walt Kelly
In like a dimwit, out like a light.
Walt Kelly
Some is more equal than others, as is well known. (Tammananny Tiger)
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
There's no easy quick way out, we're gonna have to live through our whole lives, win, lose, or draw.
Walt Kelly
If I could only write, I'd write a nasty letter to the mayor, if he could only read.
Walt Kelly
Twenty Percent of Zero is Better than Nothing.
Walt Kelly
It is not good enough for things to be planned - they still have to be done for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Walt Kelly
Man tries to swallow meaning whole as a dog would eat his dinner.
Walt Kelly
Don't believe something just because you didn't read it in the papers. Wait until you haven't seen it on television.
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
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
When we become negative and ungrateful, it is important to remember... We have met the enemy and he is us.
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. It is just unfortunate that in the clumsy hands of a cartoonist all traits become ridiculous, leading to a certain amount of self-conscious expostulation and the desire to join battle.
Walt Kelly
