Great Quotes
William Strunk Jr., Elements of Style
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
Matthew 1820 Bible
Jesus said, 'Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst.'
George Bernard Shaw
A pessimist thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.
John Keats
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination. What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not.
Samuel Goldwyn
When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.
Marc Maihueird
Love is what we call the situation which occurs when two people who are sexually comptatible discover that they can also tolerate one another in various other circumstances.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
James Allen
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of effort is the measure of the results.
Thomas Jefferson
I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern. My hopes indeed sometimes fail, but not oftener than the forebodings of the gloomy.
William Langland
Necessity has no law.
Mae West
You're never too old to become younger.
Michael Shermer
It is sad that while science moves ahead in exciting new areas of research, fine-tuning our knowledge of how life originated and evolved, creationists remain mired in medieval debates about angels on the head of a pin and animals in the belly of an Ark.
