About This Quote
This quote is a play on words that was originally said by Shakespeare in his play, "As You Like It." Essentially, the meaning is that we all make mistakes and most of these mistakes are not intentional. When we do something wrong, though, we tend to blame ourselves for the error and feel guilty about it. This feeling can lead to depression and sadness. Luckily, our cats don't care about our mistakes and they simply carry on with their business as usual.
