Aphorisms

Kittie takes dictation for the furry philosopher Professor Geoffrey – a purple cat with a lot time on his paws. As he is a cat he can’t use the Mac very well (and is quite frankly, worse on a P.C.) so to blog his quips he dictates and Kittie jots it all down. Any typos are her fault entirely. You can  write to P.G. by mailing Murgatroid Mittens, the house secretary here.   (P.G. does get a lot of fan mail but tries to answer everyone as quickly as possible.)

• Isn’t it interesting how those who sit on the fence are often those who created the fence?

• If you really cannot lose then you cannot really win.
• In business, ‘us’ comes before ‘I’.
• The essence of Affluence is in Demonstration.
