Here are the Quotations ...

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954


All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.

Thomas Carlyle


A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.

Fran Lebowitz


If you are truly serious about preparing your child for the future, don't teach him to subtract -- teach him to deduct.

A society that puts equality... ahead of freedom will end up with neither.

James Russell Lowell


But all God's angels come to us disguised...

Julius Ceasar, when crossing the rubicon and thus starting civil war that effectively ended the Roman republic


Alea Iacta est... (the dice is cast)

David Merrick


It's not enough that I should succeed -- others should fail.

Emanuel Swedenborg, From the book "Apocalypse Explained" #338


True wisdom is seeing what is beneficial to your eternal life, and managing your life according to that. You do this when you not only know these things and grasp them with your understanding, but also will and do them.

Henry David Thoreau


Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.

Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.


It was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty.

Alan Perlis


The computing field is always in need of new cliches.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
