George Bernard Shaw


Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature

Jacob Riis


When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

Mark Twain


Youth, large, lusty, loving- Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination

Paul Gauguin


Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.

Famous Quotes:

E. M. Cioran


Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people If we attended more to ourselves and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson


I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.

Vaclav Havel

Jackie Joyner-Kersee


Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

Frank Herbert, Chenoeh: "Coversations with Leto II"


Life cannot find reasons to sustain it, cannot be a source of decent natural regard, unless each of us resolves to breathe such qualities into it.

Joseph Addison


There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.

Victor Borge


When an opera star sings her head off, she usually improves her appearance.

Ovid


Courage conquers all things.

Anais Nin


Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Johann K. Lavater


Never tell evil of a man, if you do not know it for certainty, and if you know it for a certainty, then ask yourself, 'Why should I tell it'

Louis Vermeil


The prime purpose of eloquence is to keep other people from talking.

Tyron Edwards


Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Zelda Fitzgerald, 1922


[S]he refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn�t boring.

Hans Konig


For all the gold and silver stolen and shipped to Spain did not make the Spanish people richer. It gave their kings an edge in the balance of power for a time, a chance to hire more mercenary soldiers for their wars. They ended up losing those wars anyway, and all that was left was a deadly inflation, a starving population, the rich richer, the poor poorer, and a ruined peasant class.

Ronald Reagan


Most tax revisions didn't improve the system, they made it more like Washington itself complicated, unfair, cluttered with gobbledygook and loopholes designed for those with the power and influence to hire high-priced legal and tax advisers.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
