Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre, page 62I hold a creed, which no one ever taught me, and which I seldon mention, but in which I delight, and to which I cling, for it extends hope to all; it makes eternity a rest - a mighty home - not a terror and an abyss. With this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime, I can so sincerly forgive the first while I abhor the last; with this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degredation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice bever crushes me too low; I live in calm, looking to the end.
Bertrand RussellWhereas in art nothing worth doing can be done without genius, in science even a very moderate capacity can contribute to a supreme achievement.
VirgilHappy is he who gets to know the reasons for things.

Great Quotations
Quotations:
Earl of Kent, _The_Tragedy_of_King_Lear_A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
French ProverbA father is a banker provided by nature.

Eckhart TolleRealize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
John KeatsThe imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted thence proceeds mawkishness.
Hans Johst (c. 1939)When I hear the word "culture" I reach for my gun.
ArchimedesGive me somewhere to stand, and I will move the earth.
Abraham LincolnWhen I do good, I feel good when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.

Rene DescartesThe reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
Jewish ProverbIf God lived on earth, people would break his windows.
John Keats, Letter to Benjamin Bailey, Nov 1817O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts.
Mark TwainWhen I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. When I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
Woody AllenIt is no secret that organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one considers that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.
Sir Isaac Newton, EpitaphI do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean lay all undiscovered before me.
Chinese ProverbA bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.
Albert EinsteinWhen the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

Lyndon B. JohnsonPoverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty.
American Indian ProverbListen or your tongue will keep you deaf.
Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
