Today's Quotes
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
don Miguel Ruiz
Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.
Maya Angelou
Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
R. Buckminster Fuller, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1963
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.
Andrew Schneider
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead.
Florence Shinn
Giving opens the way for receiving.
Ernest Coquelin
I know a mother-in-law who sleeps with her glasses on, the better to see her son-in-law suffer in her dreams.
Unknown
Accident, n. A condition in which presence of mind is good, but absence of body is better.
Robert Graves
Every English poet should master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them.
Gustave Flaubert, Charles Bovary
For none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.
