Daily Famous Quotes

Here are the Famous Quotes ...

Peter Drucker


Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.

Thoreau


The question is not what you look at but what you see.

Chinese Proverb


When you want to test the depths of a stream, don't use both feet.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

David Assael


Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal.

Lao Tzu


To have little is to possess. To have plenty is to be perplexed.

Shirley Temple


I stopped believing in Santa Claus when my mother took me to see him in a department store, and he asked for my autograph.

Marion Shepilov Barry, Jr.


Our neighbors in Virginia are just as responsible for these killings as the criminals are because they won't pass strong gun control legislation.

Ovid


Overlook our deeds, since you know that crime was absent from our inclination.

Albert Einstein


He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed.

Marie Beyon Ray


Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand � and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.

Great Famous Quotes

Famous Quotes:

Thomas Jefferson, (Notes on Virginia, 1782)


Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Lao Tzu


The Way of Heaven does not compete, And yet it skillfully achieves victory. It does not speak, and yet it skillfully responds to things. It comes to you without your invitation.

W. H. Auden


Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.

Paul Valery


...in song the words tend to lose their significance, do often lose it, while at the other extreme, in current prose it is the musical value that tends to disappear - so that verse stands symmetrically, as it were, between song, on the one hand, and prose on the other - and is thus admirably and delicately balanced between the sensual and the intellectual power of language.

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


It's true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets his wings. But what they don't tell you is, every time you hear a mousetrap snap, an angel gets set on fire.

John Gray


It is not giving children more that spoils them it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
