Famous Quotes:

W. Somerset Maugham


Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

Author Unknown


Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get.

Dante Alighieri


Through me you pass into the city of woeThrough me you pass into eternal painThrough me among the people lost for aye.Justice the founder of my fabric movedTo rear me was the task of power divine,Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.Before me things create were none, save thingsEternal, and eternal I shall endure.All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Ronald Reagan


The taxpayer -- that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.

M Scott Peck


Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld


We often do good in order that we may do evil with impunity.

Quotations Update

Here are the Quotations ...

Albert Schweitzer


Truth has not special time of its own. Its hour is now -- always and indeed then most truly when it seems unsuitable to actual circumstances.

Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan


The reason why we are disenchanted with ourselves is because we entertain in the depths of our psyche a kind of vision-an anticipated vision of what we could be if we would be what we might be.

Jeff Melvoin


It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.

Eleanor Roosevelt


Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home�so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: The neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

William Proxmire


Power always has to be kept in check; power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous.

Bill Watterson


I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night. - Calvin

Pablo Picasso


Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Casey Stengel


Most people my age are dead at the present time.

Roger Zelazny


Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.

Eileen Caddy


Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, expect to grow spiritually.

Sidney Lanier


Music is Love in search of a word.

Cicero


Let arms give place to the robe, and the laurel of the warriors yield to the tongue of the orator.
