Just for Fun

Random quotes that I find inspiring, humorous, or thought-provoking. Note that the posting of a quote here doesn't necessarily endorse the author of the quote; in fact, I strongly disagree with some of these folks' general philosophy on life. I don't even know who some of them are. However, I do still like these quotes and agree with the truth or humor I find in them. Please forgive the cheesy dog/cat quotes...I have to admit, I'm a cat person.
