Great Quotes
Carl Sandburg
History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. History is a wind blowing where it listeth. History is no sure thing to bet on. History is a box of tricks with a lost key. History is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the Saragossa sea. History says, if it pleases, Excuse me, I beg your pardon, it will never happen again if I can help it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Jeremy Collier
Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness. People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.
Carl Jung
It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are themselves.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
There are many people in the world who really don't understand-or say they don't-what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. ... Let them come to Berlin
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters.
Jane Austen
Oh do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
Erma Bombeck
Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one Helen Keller is the other.
Charles Schaefer
We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing.
Charles De Gaulle
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Dr. Laurence J. Peter
Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience.
Maya Angelou
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.

Yiddish Proverb

Confucius, The Confucian Analects
There are three things which the superior man guards against. In youth...lust. When he is strong...quarrelsomeness. When he is old...covetousness.
