More Famous Quotations
Aesop, The Goose with the Golden Eggs
Thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find - nothing.
William Westmoreland
I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.
Tshunka Witko
One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
Josephine Hart, "Sin"
We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists. And however futile each individual act of courage or generosity, self-sacrifice or grace-it still proves the thing exists. Each act adds to the fund. It needs replenishment. Not only because evil flourishes, and is, most indefensibly, defended. But because goodness is no longer a respectable aim in life. The hound of hell, envy, has driven it from the house.
Heywood Brown
He who dies a thousand deaths meets the final hour with the calmness of one who approaches a well remembered door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like to have a man's knowledge comprehend more than one class of topics, one row of shelves. I like a man who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy.
Benjamin Franklin
There is no little enemy.
