Famous Quotes:

Thomas Jefferson, (Notes on Virginia, 1782)


Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Lao Tzu


The Way of Heaven does not compete, And yet it skillfully achieves victory. It does not speak, and yet it skillfully responds to things. It comes to you without your invitation.

W. H. Auden


Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.

Paul Valery


...in song the words tend to lose their significance, do often lose it, while at the other extreme, in current prose it is the musical value that tends to disappear - so that verse stands symmetrically, as it were, between song, on the one hand, and prose on the other - and is thus admirably and delicately balanced between the sensual and the intellectual power of language.

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


It's true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets his wings. But what they don't tell you is, every time you hear a mousetrap snap, an angel gets set on fire.

John Gray


It is not giving children more that spoils them it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
