Billy Madison


Principal Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Samuel Taliaferro Rayburn

Today's Famous Quotes

Straight to the Famous Quotes ...

Plato, from a footnote in The Colloquy of Monos and Una, Edgar Allen Poe


It will be hard to discover a better [method of education] than that which the experience of so many ages has already discovered, and this may be summed up as consisting in gymnastics for the body, and _music_ for the soul... For this reason is a musical education so essential; since it causes Rhythm and Harmony to penetrate most intimately into the soul, taking the strongest hold upon it, filling it with _beauty_ and making the man _beautiful-minded_.

Graham Greene, The Human Factor (1978)


Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel; our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt.

Italian Proverb


By learning to obey, you will know how to command.

George Bernard Shaw


People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

Janet Long


Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.

Straight to the Famous Quotes ...

George Will

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
