Great Quotes
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Judge John Kane, US District Court
The public interest is best served by the free exchange of ideas.
Henry David Thoreau
All good things are wild, and free.
David Brin, on power and corruption
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it�s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
John Steinbeck
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thoughts or action we should remember our dying and try so to live, that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
Dolly Parton
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain.
Ogden Nash, "Reflections on Ice-Breaking"
Candy
Is dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it is darkest, men see the stars.
Dorothy Parker, book review
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
Happy Rhodes
Allow me someday to touch you.The way that you've all touched me.

Famous Quotations Update
Tao Le Ching
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.

Anonymous
May no portent of evil be attached to the words I say.
Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless"
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I think one way police departments could make some money would be to hold a yard sale of murder weapons. Many people, for example, could probably use a cheap ice pick.

Homer, The Iliad
He knew the things that were and the things that would be and the things that had been before.
Ronald Reagan
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
Author Unknown
The hardest work in the world is that which should have been done yesterday.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., (dissent, Abrams v. United States, 1919)
The ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas [and] the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.
Jimmy Carter
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Eileen Caddy
Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, expect to grow spiritually.
Franz Kafka
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Thomas H. Kean
The most painful death in all the world is the death of a child. When a child dies, when one child dies-not the 11 per 1,000 we talk about statistically, but the one that a mother held briefly in her arms-he leaves an empty place in a parent's heart that will never heal.
Aeschylus
The wisest of the wise may err.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Michelangelo Buonarroti
Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.
Eugene Delacroix
I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal.
