Junk is something you keep for years and then throw out two weeks before you need it.

Junk is something you keep for years and then throw out two

Summary

This quote humorously captures the irony of holding onto things we consider to be 'junk.' It suggests that we often keep items for extended periods, perceiving them as useless clutter, only to realize their importance or need just after discarding them. This highlights the tendency to underestimate the value of certain possessions and serves as a reminder to think twice before deeming something as 'junk' and getting rid of it too hastily.

I urged that kings were dangerous. He said, then have cats. He was sure that a royal family of cats would answer every purpose. They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughably vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house...The worship of royalty being founded in unreason, these graceful and harmless cats would easily become as sacred as any other royalties, and indeed more so, because it would presently be noticed that they hanged nobody, beheaded nobody, imprisoned nobody, inflicted no cruelties or injustices of any sort, and so must be worthy of a deeper love and reverence than the customary human king, and would certainly get it.http://www.twainquotes.com
