Great Quotations
Blaise Pascal
By a peculiar prerogative, not only each individual is making daily advances in the sciences, and may makes advances in morality, but all mankind together are making a continual progress in proportion as the universe grows older; so that the whole human race, during the course of so many ages, may be considered as one man, who never ceases to live and learn.

To feel "fit as a fiddle" you must tone down your middle.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 3
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Famous Quotes Update
John Donne
Twice or thrice had I loved thee, Before I knew thy face or name.
Thomas Jefferson
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.
James Barrett Scotty Reston
All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.
Benjamin Disraeli
When men are pure, laws are useless when men are corrupt, laws are broken.
Mark Twain
Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain.
Ronald Reagan
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
A. J. Liebling
People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news.
Henry David Thoreau
However mean your life is, meet it and live it do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are the richest.
Linus Pauling, No More War!
Science is the search for truth - it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find t he right solution, the just solution of international problems, not the effort by each nation to get the better of other nations, to do harm to them when it is possible.
Anne Michaels
Hold a book in your hand and you're a pilgrim at the gates of a new city.
