Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement. - Dan Quayle
We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world. - Dan Quayle
A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls. - Dan Quayle
I once thought that all three of those quotes were funny. But in hindsight, they all served as ominous warnings.
It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. - Dan Quayle

Update:
Anonymous has pointed out in the comments that several of these quotes are actually Quayleisms, quotes attributed to Quayle but were actually quotes by those trying to emulate his style for comedic purposes. Thanks Internet for leading me astray.

Sharing Dan Quayle's wisdom can actually make it come true! Hahaha! ;)
I suspected it was possible. He did say that bank failures are caused by depositors not covering the losses of bank mismanagement and that sure came true. Fortunately, the government stepped in and forced every American to fill the void. Whew!
In the immortal words of his great Quayleness.
-The future will be better tomorrow.
fudge_hend,
The future, better tomorrow, will be. Yes, hmmm.
From one great master to another, Yoda agrees! ;)
I've always thought Dan Quayle was more of Yogi Berra
Which is Dan Quayle and which is Yogi Berra?
- I didn’t really say everything I said.
- We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward.
- I stand by all the misstatements that I've made
- The future ain't what it used to be.
- We made too many wrong mistakes.
Bush should have had Yogi as a VP then at least he could have been useful for ceremonial first pitches and such.

D'oh! Looks like I snagged two of them. Damn you Internet! ;)
