Latest Famous Quotations
S Hayakawa
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, 'I have failed three times,' and what happens when he says, 'I'm a failure.'
Alexander Senturia
Love is not a crime, denying it is. Having dreams is not a crime, not chasing them is. Making mistakes is not a crime, not learning from them is. Life is not a crime, not living it is.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara
At the risk of sounding ridiculous, a true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.
Kahlil Gibran
Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in you seeds.
James Grover Thurber
But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo the splendor of fame fades into nothing but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.
George Carlin
"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?
Tallulah Bankhead
Here's a rule I recommend Never practice two vices at once.
Mark Twain

Henry David Thoreau
It is never too late to give up your prejudices.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Technology made large populations possible large populations now make technology indispensable.
