Quotations for Today
Seneca
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In whatever one does, there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart. With the eye that is closed, one looks within, with the eye that is open, one looks without.
Stephen Jobs
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
E. M. Forster, Two Cheers for Democracy, 1951
I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our own particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
James Burgh
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself and what he possesses else he lives precariously, and at discretion.
Spanish Proverb
Books are hindrances to persisting stupidity.
Gene Fowler
Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.
Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, August 2, 2003
I�m telling you, things are getting out of hand. Or maybe I�m discovering that things were never in my hands.
Stella Terrill Mann
Every time we say, "Let there be!" in any form, something happens.
Mother Theresa
There should be less talk a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.

Great Quotes
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, (Prime Minister of Denmark) Family photo after the European Council meeting in Copenhagen, 13 December 20
Europe is spreading its wings. In freedom. In prosperity. And in peace. It is a truly proud moment for the European Union. It is a triumph for liberty and democracy. To our new members I say: �Warmly welcome to our family�. Our new Europe is born.
Seneca
This is the reason we cannot complain of lifeit keeps no one against his wll.
Eleanor Rosevelt
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
It was a dark and stormy night the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
James Clarke
A politician thinks of the next election a statesman of the next generation.
Mark Twain
There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.

Quotations Update
W. C. Fields
I never vote for anyone I always vote against.
Dave Tyson Gentry
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
Cornelius Stam
We are living in a day of self-seeking and irresponsibility, even in Christian circles. Few indeed are the Christian believers who have truly laid their all on the altar for Christ. Few are the spiritual leaders who truly put God FIRST . Rather they think first, albeit subconsciously, of their positions, popularity, salaries and the success of the organizations over which they preside. While professing strong allegiance to God and His Word, they are nevertheless careful not to emphasize those passages from the Word which might ruffle feathers or rock the boat, as we say. In spite of their professed fidelity to God's Word and will, their first objective is actually to keep their organizations running smoothly and pleasantly so that they may continue to grow in numbers. This has become a way of life in Christendom, but in this matter too we should 'search the Scriptures daily,' to determine whether these things have God's approval, for however good and right a thing may seem, if it is at variance with the Word, rightly divided, it is contrary to the will of God and therefore wrong.
Anon.
No one is listening until you make a mistake.
Russ Zandbergen
All dimensions are critical dimensions, otherwise why are they there?
Latin Proverb
Live your own life, for you will die your own death.
Eric Hoffer
In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned find themselves equipped to live in a world which no longer exists.
Theodore Ruskin
The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.
Nathan Hale
I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.
Sophocles
Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.
Socrates
I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
Edmund Burke
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.
