Famous Quotations for Today
I Ching
Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.
Henry David Thoreau, "Walden"
Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness, 1964
The Argument from Intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence.
Mother Theresa
We are all pencils in the hand of God.
John Updike
There are times when fear is good It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.

Great Quotations
Oscar Wilde
Genius is born--not paid.
Johann von Schiller
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
Joseph Addison
It is folly for an eminent person to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected by it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.
Kaleel Jamison
Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
There is no other way of guarding oneself against flattery than by letting men understand that they will not offend you by speaking the truth; but when everyone can tell you the truth, you lose their respect.
Greek proverb
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.
Celeste Holm
We live by encouragement and die without it--slowly, sadly, angrily.
Aldous Huxley
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Ambrose Bierce
Marriage: the state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two.

Great Famous Quotations
Marquis de Sade
Crime is the soul of lust. What would pleasure be if it were not accompanied by crime It is not the object of debauchery that excites us, rather the idea of evil.
Pliny
Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man.
Frederika Bremer
There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart through the course of a whole life.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
John Barrymore
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
Prince Otto
People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
Lord Chesterfield
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
Mickey Spillane
If you're a singer you lose your voice. A baseball player loses his arm. A writer gets more knowledge, and if he's good, the older he gets, the better he writes.
Edward Tufte
There are only two industries that refer to their customers as users.
Hary Latham Doherty
Generally we study too much and think too little.
Robert Louis Stephenson
Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
