SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY CELEBRITY CITINGS: OCTOBER 2026

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here and it's time for another installment of my Catty Celebrity Citings.
As usual, a real quote from a famous person past or present will be followed by hopefully something witty from meow.
But considering everything that's been in the news lately, every quote this month is going to be on the same subject.
PEACE!🕊
Ready?

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."~~Former US President John F. Kennedy.
It is difficult to accept change, but a closed mind is closed to hope.

"You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist."~~Indira Ghandhi, former Prime Minister of India.
Maybe not everyone wants to be your friend, but you'll never find out unless you try.

"It isn't enough to just talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to just believe in it. One must work at it."~~~Former US Presidential First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."~~Civil Rights Activist Martin Luther King, Junior
Peace is more difficult to achieve than war, but the benefits of peace are far greater.

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."~~Famous writer Virginia Woolf.
"So don't sit in your lonely room just staring back at silent gloom. That's not where you belong."~~From ♫Take A Giant Step♫ by The Monkees.
You're bunker isn't going to do you any good if you're the only one left afterwards.

"Peace and Justice are two sides of the same coin."~~Former US President Dwight David Eisenhower.
That is a coin I'd gladly flip to make a decision with any time.

"For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty second of peace of mind."~~Famous writer Ralph Waldo Emmerson.
Time's precious. Why waste it?

"Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means."~~Former US President Ronald Reagan.
"All we are saying, is give peace a chance."~~John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Can't we all just get along?

So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies and Koda Canine's Weekend Pupdate.—PDK.
