Quotations for Today
William Golding
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
William Plomer
Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.
Frank Herbert
The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.
Christina Petrowsky
Autumn is the bite of the harvest apple.
Terry Lynn Taylor
Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for.

Charles De Gaulle
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
...people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
Andrew Schneider
Life's dirty. Life's unclean you know. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us.
Benjamin Franklin
There is no little enemy.
Omar Khayym

Latest greatest Famous Quotes
Plato
Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
Ben Sweetland
Success is a journey, not a destination.
Arnold Bennett
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Cardinal John Newman
Half the controversies in the world are verbal ones; and could they be brought to a plain issue they would be brought to a prompt termination. Parties engaged in them would then perceive either that in substance they agreed together, or that their difference was one of first principles. We need not dispute, we need not prove, we need but define. At all events, let us, if we can, do this first of all and then see who are left for us to dispute; what is left for us to prove.
Hughes Mearns
As I was going up the stairI met a man who wasn't thereHe wasn't there again todayI wish, I wish he'd stay away.
Alvin Toffler
Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.
Ernest Hemingway
