Latest Quotations
Thomas John Watson, Sr.
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Harold Taylor
A student is not a professional athlete. ... He is not a little politician or junior senator looking for angles ... an amateur promoter, a glad-hander, embryo Rotarian, caf-society leader, quiz kid or man about town. A student is a person who is learning to fulfill his powers and to find ways of using them in the service of mankind.
Aesop
Only cowards insult dying majesty.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
If you're at a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you're eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you're out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, 'Boy, these are good cigars'
Erma Bombeck
We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.
Marcel Marceau
I have spent more than half a lifetime trying to express the tragic moment.
Edgar Allan Poe, Tamerlane, Part II
Scorching my seared heart with a pain, not hell shall make me fear again.
Groucho Marx
Paying alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.
Gail Sheehy
As we reach midlife . we are not prepared for the idea that time can run out on us, or for the startling truth that if we don't hurry to pursue our own definition of a meaningful existence, life can become a repetition of trivial maintenance duties.
Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother.
Vernon A. Walters
The fact that I was a bachelor provided two opportunities or two handles that they might get on me, namely, girls or boys.
