Great Quotations
Earl of Kent, _The_Tragedy_of_King_Lear_
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
French Proverb
A father is a banker provided by nature.
Seneca
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
(Imago Animi Sermo Est)
Mignon McLaughlin
If I knew what I was so anxious about, I wouldn't be so anxious.
M. Kathleen Casey
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
Whitney M. Young Jr.
Support the strong, give courage to the timid, remind the indifferent, and warn the opposed.
Eckhart Tolle
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
John Keats
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted thence proceeds mawkishness.
Hans Johst (c. 1939)
When I hear the word "culture" I reach for my gun.
Archimedes
Give me somewhere to stand, and I will move the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
When I do good, I feel good when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Frank Zappa
It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice -- there are two other possibilities one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.
