Quotations for Today

Today's Quotations:

Carl Sandburg


I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision.

Zora Neale Hurston


It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.

John Dykes


Our deeds follow us, and what we have been makes us what we are.

Thomas Alva Edison


Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s.


A credit union is not an ordinary financial concern, seeking to enrich its members at the expense of the general public. Neither is it a loan company, seeking to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates� The credit union is nothing of the kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social ideal.

James Waddell Alexander, II


The true recipe for a miserable existence is to quarrel with Providence.

William Shakespeare, "The Tempest", Act 1 scene 2


I will be correspondent to command, And do my spiriting gently.

Sir Winston Churchill


For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.
