Tom Bodett

Great Famous Quotations
Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tries, and a touch that never hurts.
Henry Thoreau
For every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil, there is one striking at the root.
Gordon R. Dickson
Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.
Saint Francis of Assisi
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Robertson Davies
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
Richard Bach
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Ulysses S. Grant, Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, Chapter 46
It is men who wait to be selected, and not those who seek, from whom we may expect the most efficient service.
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.
Dag Hammarskj�ld
It is when we all play safe that we create a world of the utmost insecurity.
