Today's Famous Quotes
Theodore White
If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free -- however free one can be on this planet.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
William Wordsworth
Wisdom and spirit of the Universe Thou soul is the eternity of thought That giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion Not in vain By day or star-light thus from by first dawn Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me The passions that build up our human soul, Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things, With life and nature, purifying thus The elements of feeling and of thought, And sanctifying, by such discipline Both pain and fear, until we recognize A grandeur in the beatings of the heart.
John Burroughs
The spirit of man can endure only so much and when it is broken only a miracle can mend it.
Albert Camus
What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.
John Guerrero
Never argue with an idiot, because they will only bring you down to their level and beat you by experience.
David Chambless
Better to have loved and lost a short person than never to have loved a tall.
Billy Wilder
Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.
Albert Einstein
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
