Famous Quotations Update
Today's Famous Quotations:
Henry David Thoreau
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
Oscar Wilde
Life imitates art more than art imitates life.
Ayn Rand
Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice--there is no other.
Milton Friedman
A society that puts equality... ahead of freedom will end up with neither.
George Eliot, Scenes of Clerical Life - Amos Barton
Every man who is not a monster, mathematician or a mad philosopher, is the slave of some woman or other.
Gough Whitlam, Prime Minister of Australia, in a speech in 1975.
Well may we say God save the Queen, because nothing will save the Governor-General.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.
William Ellery Channing
Error is discipline through which we advance.
Jerry Coleman
Davis fouls out to third in fair territory.
Victor Hugo
Nothing else in the world...not all the armies...is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage, chapter 8
He saw that it was an ironical thing for him to be running thus toward that which he had been at such pains to avoid. But he said, in substance, to himself that if the earth and the moon were about to clash, many people would doubtless plan to get upon the roofs to witness the collision.
