Latest Famous Quotations
Clarence Day
As time goes on, new and remoter aspects of truth are discovered which can seldom be fitted into creeds that are changeless.
James McNeill Whistler
Two and two continue to make four, in spite of the whine of the amateur for three, or the cry of the critic for five.
Leonardo da Vinci, The Notebooks
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
George Bernard Shaw

Saint Francis of Assisi
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903
A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.
John Skelton, Replication Against Certain Young Scholars
