Famous Quotes:
Jerry Della Femina
I'm hard-nosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah, if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter, and then one day somebody gives you a job, you can say, Gee, I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But, dammit, I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. If you're persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost make your own fortune.
Warren Miller
Don't take life seriously because you can't come out of it alive.
William Blake
To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Dugald Stewart
The faculty of imagination is the great spring of human activity, and the principle source of human improvement. As it delights in presenting to the mind scenes and characters more perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satisfied without present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continually in the pursuit of some untried enjoyment, or of some ideal excellence. Destroy this faculty, and the condition of man will become as stationary as that of the brutes.
Sally Koch
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.
St, Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821) Foundress of the Sisters of Charity, USA, Speech given in the Diocese of Baltimore
Live simply, so that all may simply live.
George Bernard Shaw
Better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world.
Carl Sagan
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
