Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or grooming:

    Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this because of all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren’t like this. A dog’s idea of personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish. Dogs spend their time thinking about doing good deeds for their masters, or sleeping.
    James Gorman (b. 1949)
