MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM SOME VERY MEMORABLE FOLKS

I recently received the following quotes in the form of an e-mail from a former co-worker and good friend. I’ve received this one previously, perhaps two years ago, and enjoyed it so much that I was pleased to receive it again and I thought I’d share it with you.

Now, before you ask/criticize, I have not, repeat, have not, checked with the Internet Gestapo, SNOPES, to confirm the validity of these quotes. I’m passing them on not as the Gospel according to Mikey, but as an interesting take on life in general, be they true or false. I found them entertaining and hope you will too. (And by the way, how in the hell does SNOPES know so much and who gave them the absolute authority on all issues??? Who funds them??? Who are “they”???)

Here are some interesting and timeless "quotes" I hope you enjoy!
