Famous Quotations for Today
Kingsley Amis, One Fat Englishman (1963)
It was no wonder that people were so horrible when they started life as children.
Hellen Keller
The highest result of education is tolerance.
Martin Luther
When God wants to speak and deal with us, he does not avail himself of an angel but of parents, or the pastor, or of our neighbor.
John Calvin
For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress.
Homer, The Iliad
The glorious gifts of the gods are not to be cast aside.

Great Quotes
Jeff Melvoin
It's cabin fever season people, that time of year when four walls feel like they're going to come in here and choke the spirit right out of you. Time to lock away those firearms and hang tough. No way through it except to do it.
John Davidson Rockefeller, Sr.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility every opportunity an obligation every possession a duty.
A. Whitney Griswold
Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam.
Sir Francis Bacon
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.
Benjamin Franklin
Think what you do when you run into debt; you give another power over your liberty.
Rowan Atkinson
As I was leaving this morning, I said to myself 'the last thing you must do is forget your speech.' And sure enough, as I left the house this morning, the last thing I did was to forget my speech.
Yoda
Do or do not, there is no try.
Albert Einstein
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
Confucius, The Confucian Analects
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Aristotle, Rhetoric
It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.
