More Quotations
Brian Sutton-Smith
The parent who gets down on the floor to play with a child on Christmas Day is usually doing a most remarkable thing -- something seldom repeated during the rest of the year. These are, after all, busy parents committed to their work or their success in the larger society, and they do not have much left-over time in which to play with their children.
Oriana Fallaci
Henry Kissinger may have wished I had presented him as a combination of Charles DeGaulle and Disraeli, but I didn't. . .out of respect for DeGaulle and Disraeli. I described him as a cowboy because thats how he described himself. If I were a cowboy I would be offended.
Lao Tzu
It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back.
Robert Louis Stephenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Charles Rosin
There's something intrinsically therapeutic about choosing to spend your time in a wide, open park- like setting that non-golfers can never truly understand.
