Famous Quotes Update
Bible, Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Jimmy Carter, Spech in March 1976
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. In is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and a manly heart.
Virgil
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
Frederick Bastiat, "Government" published in 1848
Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
Oprah Winfrey
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determines the end.

Quotations for Today
Jerry Coleman
Tito Fuentes is safe at second with a triple.
Arthur Wing Pinero
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
Henry Louis Mencken
A sound American is simply one who has put out of his mind all doubts and questionings, and who accepts instantly, and as incontrovertible gospel, the whole body of official doctrine of his day, whatever it may be and no matter how often it may change. The instant he challenges it, no matter how timorously and academically, he ceases by that much to be a loyal and creditable citizen of the republic.
Marie Curie
There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.
Richard Lovelace, To Althea from Prison
Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.
Sam Ervin
The President seems to extend executive privilege way out past the atmosphere. What he says is executive privilege is nothing but executive poppycock.
Robert Frost, The Black Cottage
Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
Napoleon Bonaparte
[Medicine is] a collection of uncertain prescriptions the results of which, taken collectively, are more fatal than useful to mankind.
