Today's Quotations
William Bennet Munro
People vote their resentment, not their appreciation. The average man does not vote for anything, but against something.
Samuel Butler
People care more about being thought to have taste than about being good, clever, or amiable.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture, and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.
Louis K. Anspacher
Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.
Lawrence Downs
A good deal happens in a man's life that he isn't responsible for. Fortunate openings occur but it is safe to remember that such 'breaks' are occurring all the time, and other things being equal, the advantage goes to the man who is ready.
Martha Singleterry
Pain is a very precious gift. Do not waste it.
William Shakespeare
Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is immortal therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea it can only find itself in changing forms.

Good writing takes more than just time; it wants your best moments and the best of you.
Michel de Montaigne
It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others
Benjamin Disraeli
Success is the child of audacity.
H. L. Mencken
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. ¶ 10:35 AM
