Today's Famous Quotes:



Dr. Dale E. Turner


The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have arrived believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth, but they sit on the lid.

Shakespeare


Why then the worlds mine oyster, Which I with sword shall open.

Frances Willard


I would not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.

George Eliot


Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.

William Shakespeare


The quality of mercy is not strained It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.

Arthur Marx


So. The time has come for me to get my kite flying, stretch out in the sun, kick off my shoes, and speak my piece. 'The days of struggle are over,' I should be able to say. 'I can look back now and tell myself I don't have a single regret.' But I do. Many years ago a very wise man named Bernard Baruch took me aside and put his arm around my shoulder. 'Harpo, my boy,' he said, 'I'm going to give you three pieces of advice, three things you should always remember.' My heart jumped and I glowed with expectation. I was going to hear the magic password to a rich, full life from the master himself. 'Yes, sir' I said. And he told me the three things. I regret that I've forgotten what they were.

Georgia O'Keeffe


Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

Matthew Henry


Knowledge is vain and fruitless which is not reduced to practice.

Friedrich Nietzsche


All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.

William Rotsler


You cannot hold back a good laugh any more than you can the tide. Both are forces of nature.

Shawnee Indian Chant


Do not wrong or hate your neighbor, for it is not he that you wrong: You wrong yourself.
