Great Famous Quotations

Sir Winston Churchill


Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.

Max Lucado, "And the Angels were Silent the Final Week of Jesus"

William Sherman Pene du Bois


The best way of travel, however, if you aren't in any hurry at all, if you don't care where you are going, if you don't like to use your legs, if you don't want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
Expediency asks the question - is it political?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, popular, or political; but because it is right.

J. Frank Dobie, "A Texan in England", 1945


The average Ph.D. thesis is nothing but a transference of bones from one graveyard to another.

A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.

G. Stanley Hall


Every theory of love, from Plato down, teaches that each individual loves in the other sex what he lacks in himself.

If you don't know what to do with many of the papers piled on your desk, stick a dozen colleagues' initials on 'em, and pass them along. When in doubt, route.

Peter Drucker


So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
