Let these funny Leaps Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.

and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."
Sometimes it is relatively easy
to filter out these opinions.
Upon hearing an ad for the latest
weight-loss powder on late-night TV,
our skepticism leaps to our defense.

we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.
