Gaius Valerius Catullus, Poem 85
I love and I hate. How can this be, you ask in vain. I know not, but I feel it to be so and am wracked with pain.
Thomas Fuller
If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.
Ernest K. Gann, The Black Watch
If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe. We no longer waste manpower by carrying the flag into battle. Instead we need battalions of electronic engineers to keep the terrible machinery grinding.
Robert Fripp
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Tom Wolfe, "Bonfire of the Vanities"
Over the past ten years, for the first time, intelligence had become socially correct for girls.
William Reece Smith Jr.
We must remember that a right lost to one is lost to all.
Arthur Ashe
Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.
James Thurber
Let us not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around us in awareness.

Today's Famous Quotes
William Shakespeare
It is meant that noble minds keep ever with their likes; for who so firm that cannot be seduced.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
What a blessing it would be if we could open and shut our ears as easily as we open and shut our eyes
Andrea Bocelli, in TV Guide
All that counts in life is intention.
Tom Margerison, "A Random Walk in Science" compiled by R. L. Weber, edited by E. Mendoza
Report writing, like motor-car driving and love-making, is one of those activities which almost every Englishman thinks he can do well without instruction. The results are of course usually abominable.
Author Unknown
Catch your people doing something right and let them know you appreciate it.
The Divine Pymander
Listen within yourself and look into the infinitude of Space and Time. There can be heard the songs of the Constellations, the voices of the Numbers, and the harmonies of the Spheres.
Frederick Douglas
What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July I answer A day that reveals to him, more than all other days of the year, the gross injustices and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham.
Henry James, "The Ambassadors", Book Fifth, Chapter 2
People can be in general pretty well trusted, of course--with the clock of their freedom ticking as loud as it seems to do here--to keep an eye on the fleeting hour.
George F. Will
We know next to nothing about virtually everything. It is not necessary to know the origin of the universe; it is necessary to want to know. Civilization depends not on any particular knowledge, but on the disposition to crave knowledge.
Euripides
Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.
Eugene Debs
The most heroic word in all languages is revolution.
