Latest greatest Quotes
Lawrence Peter Berra
He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.
Author Unknown
Some people lose their health getting wealth and then lose their wealth gaining health.
Isaac Asimov
From my close observation of writers...they fall into two groups 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review.
Albert Einstein
I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Ghandi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie
Henry Louis Mencken
Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that someone might be looking.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath (1939)
Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.
Bertrand Russell, Conquest of Happiness (1930) ch. 14
To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.
Confucius
Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
Robert Greenleaf
Good leaders must first become good servants.
Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, February 13, 2004
I�m searching through all that has ever been hoped, in praise of what can never be known.
Sophocles, Electra (c.409 BC)
The end excuses any evil.

Today's Famous Quotes
Charles Rosin
There's something intrinsically therapeutic about choosing to spend your time in a wide, open park- like setting that non-golfers can never truly understand.
George Carlin
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I�m just not close enough to get the job done."
Orson Welles
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.
Virgil
Death's brother, Sleep.
Granville Hicks
A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.
E. B. White
The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a war.
John Vance Cheney
The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
Alfred North Whitehead
I will not go so far as to say that to construct a history of thought without profound study of the mathematical ideas of successive epochs is like omitting Hamlet from the play which is named after him. . . But it is certainly analogous to cutting out the part of Ophelia. This simile is singularly exact. For Ophelia is quite essential to the play, she is very charming-- and a little mad.
Vincent Van Gogh
There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
