More Quotations
Rene Descartes
The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
Jewish Proverb
If God lived on earth, people would break his windows.
John Keats, Letter to Benjamin Bailey, Nov 1817
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts.
Mark Twain
When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. When I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
Woody Allen
It is no secret that organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one considers that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.
Sir Isaac Newton, Epitaph
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean lay all undiscovered before me.
Chinese Proverb
A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.
Albert Einstein
When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Italian
To him who is determined it remains only to act.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Poverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty.
American Indian Proverb
Listen or your tongue will keep you deaf.
Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
