Abraham Lincoln


Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Alfred Lord Tennyson


Her eyes are homes of silent prayers.

Frank Zappa


It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice -- there are two other possibilities one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.

William Gibson


The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it.

Robert M. Hamilton


A book of quotations . . . can never be complete.

Thomas a Kempis


Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

David Assael


Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal.

Paul Ingram


A moment's thought shows that man's feeling of isolation has no foundation, biologically or sociologically. We grow out of the Universe, we are an expression of it. The iron in our blood comes from the high temperature fusion of stars. We constantly interact with our environment. The force of gravity keeps our feet upon the earth and has a vital effect upon our metabolism. The air we breathe comes form the seas and the leaves, and the sun allows the process to take place. Society gives us all that makes us human our culture, our symbols, our concepts and our values. Without society, the notion of the individual would have no meaning.

Martha Grimes


We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.

The postman always rings twice.

Christopher Morley


My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated, but not signed.

Bertha Flowers


Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning.

Walt Whitman


From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.

Maitri Upanishads


As a spider emits and draws in its thread, As plants arise on the earth, As the hairs of the head and body from a living person, So from The Eternal arises everything here.

Herbert Clark Hoover


It is a curious fact that when we get sick we want an uncommon doctor... When we get into a war, we dreadfully want an uncommon admiral and an uncommon general. Only when we get into politics are we content with the common man.

Saul Bellow, O Magazine, September 2003


There was a disturbance in my heart, a voice that spoke there and said, I want, I want, I want! It happened every afternoon, and when I tried to suppress it it got even stronger.

The woman cries before the wedding and the man after.

Curtis Grant


Having the world's best idea will do you no good unless you act on it. People who want milk shouldn't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in hopes that a cow will back up to them.
