What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little

Alexander Hamilton, Speech on 21 June 1788 urging ratification of the Constitution in New York.


It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.

Park Cousins


How things look on the outside of us depends on how things are on the inside of us.

H. L. Mencken

Today's Famous Quotations

Straight to the Famous Quotations ...

Jean Anouilh


Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible when one has to live it.

Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton


Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.

Yiddish Proverb


Truth never dies, but lives a wretched life.

Lizzy Gardiner


I was looking for an American symbol. A Coca-Cola bottle or a Mickey Mouse would have been ridiculous, doing anything with the American flag would have been insulting, and Cadillac hub caps were just too uncomfortable. (speaking about the dress she wore made of American Express Cards)

Albert Einstein


One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.

Voltaire


When its a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.

G. K. Chesterton


A good novel tells us the truth about its hero but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

John Mason Brown

Richard Nelson Bolles


There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone--many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long. Not for nothing is their motto TGIF -- 'Thank God It's Friday.' They live for the weekends, when they can go do what they really want to do.

Henry David Thoreau


I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

Aaron Machado


The imaginary friends I had as a kid dropped me because their friends thought I didn't exist.

Oprah Winfrey
