Quotations for Today
Pete Holiday
Capitalism needs to function like a game of tug-of-war. Two opposing sides need to continually struggle for dominance, but at no time can either side be permitted to walk away with the rope.
Lao Tzu
I have three treasures. Guard and keep them The first is deep love, The second is frugality, And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world. Because of deep love, one is courageous. Because of frugality, one is generous. Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
Sir Walter Raleigh
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is the greatest of all tools for leading mankind by the nose.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Why does no one confess his sins Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
H. L. Mencken
It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull.
Aristotle
There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Heraclitus
Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.
Johnson
The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things--the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well behaved women seldom make history.
