These are quotes Dan Quayle is suppose to have made:
 
Mars is essentially in the same orbit... somewhat the same distance from the
Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals,
we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If
oxygen, that means we can breathe.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific.  It is IN
the Pacific.  It is a part of the United States that is an island that
is right here.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle,
                   Hawaii, September 1989
 
We expect them [Salvadoran officials] to work toward the elimination
of human rights.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and
democracy - but that could change.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle, to the Phoenix Republican
                   Forum, March 1990
 
Target prices?  How that works?  I know quite a bit about farm policy.
I come from Indiana, which is a farm state.  Deficiency payments -
which are the key - that is what gets money into the farmer's hands.
We got loan, uh, rates, we got target, uh, prices, uh, I have worked
very closely with my senior colleague, (Indiana Sen.) Richard Lugar,
making sure that the farmers of Indiana are taken care of.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle on being asked to
                   define the term "target prices."
                   Quayle's press secretary then cut short the press
                   conference, after two minutes and 30 seconds.
 
May our nation continue to be the beakon of hope to the world.
                -- The Quayle's 1989 Christmas card.
                   [Not a beacon of literacy, though.]
 
Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
The real question for 1988 is whether we're going to go forward to
tomorrow or past to the -- to the back!
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
We will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity,
family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 1988
 
This election is about who's going to be the next President of the
United States!
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 1988
