Daily Famous Quotes
Henry David Thoreau
In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions know that you are alone in the world.
Laurence J. Peter
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.
Jewish Proverb
As he thinks in his heart, so he is.
Sophocles, Electra
Death is not the worst thing; rather, when one who craves death cannot attain even that wish.
Harold S. Geneen
We must not be hampered by yesterday's myths in concentrating on today's needs.
Assyrian Proverb
Love and eggs are best when they are fresh.
Kathy Seligman
You can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can't catch a fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Bertrand Russell
Education, which was at first made universal in order that all might be able to read and write, has been found capable of serving quite other purposes. By instilling nonsense it unifies populations and generates collective enthusiasm.
John Keats
Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance.

Great Quotations
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
It is a great ability to be able to conceal one's ability.
Albert Einstein
After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest sceintists are always artists as well.
Bhagavad Gita
There are two ways of passing from this world - one in light and one in darkness. When one passes in light, he does not come back but when one passes in darkness, he returns.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In love, one and one are one.
The Buddha
The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings.
Klopstock
He who has an opinion of his own, but depends on the opinion and tastes of others is a slave.
John F. Kennedy, "A Thousand Days," by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. [1965]
My father always told me that all businessmen were sons of bitches, but I never believed it till now. -- (Comment made 10 April 1962 in reaction to news that U.S. Steel was raising prices by $6 per ton, right after the unions negotiated a modest new contract under pressure from JFK to keep inflation down.)
Dwight D Eisenhower
As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence.
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision.
