Quotes for Today
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
It will be an ill day when our brethren take to bragging and boasting and call it 'testimony to the victorious Christian life.' We trust that holiness will be more than ever the aim of believers, but not the boastful holiness which has deluded some of the excellent of the earth into vain glory, and under which their firmest friends shudder for them.
Quentin Crisp
Even holligans marry, though they know that marriage is but for a little while. It is alimony that is forever.
Laurence Hope
For this is Wisdom to love, to live To take what fate, or the Gods may give. To ask no question, to make no prayer, To kiss the lips and caress the hair, Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow To have, - to hold - and - in time, - let go
Josiah Gilbert Holland
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.
Helen Rowland
To a woman the first kiss is just the end of the beginning but to a man it is the beginning of the end.
Mother Theresa
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Russell Baker

I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Marcus Valerius Martialis, Epigrams
A man who lives everywhere lives nowhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise man always throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point.
Andrew Brown
Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
James Grand
To forgive is human, to forget divine. . ..
