Mouse Quotations
Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
Ronald Reagan
First was the mouse. The second was the click wheel. And now, we're going to bring multi-touch to the market. And each of these revolutionary interfaces has made possible a revolutionary product - the Mac, the iPod and now the iPhone.
Steve Jobs
Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.
Steve Jobs
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Walt Disney
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
Walt Disney
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.
Walt Disney
I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.
John Steinbeck
A mouse does not rely on just one hole.
Plautus
