Cats ponder too, just like Nietzsche.

Philosophy is around us all the time, whether we think about it or not. Every moment is an opportunity to analyze, to compare, to reflect, or to think about things. There are endless thoughts, and some may say that a thought is no more valuable than a piece of trash, but it's not true. If it matters to you, then it matters in the world. Cats think too, even if they don't seem like it. They're always pondering when they will get tuna again, or how to destroy something in the house they've already destroyed. They might think about what it'd be like if they were born a dog, or a bird. The important thing to remember is that you don't have to be a genius to have an important opinion or to be valuable. Value lies in places where you put it, so put it right here in these wise cat memes teaching you about life in ways you didn't realize existed. And of course, some very famous quotes by some very famous philosophers. 

Marcus Aurelius: "You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control."

Aristotle: "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Plato: "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."

Thomas Aquinas: "The things that we love tell us what we are."

Niccolò Machiavelli: "Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception."

René Descartes: "I think, therefore I am."

Baruch Spinoza: "I have laboured carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate human actions, but to understand them."

Immanuel Kant: "Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end."

Friedrich Nietzsche: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
