Today's Famous Quotations:

Publilius Syrus


How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.

Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking, 1973


Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

Anthony D'Angelo


Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.

John Steinbeck


Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.

I understand a fury in your words,
But not the words.

Edgar A. Shoaff


Immortality -- a fate worse than death.
