Famous Quotations for Today
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay.
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health
The time for thinkers has come.
Laertius Diogenes
We have two ears and only one tongue in order that we may hear more and speak less.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.
Elayne Boosler
When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country.
