Latest greatest Famous Quotes
Joseph Addison
Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.
Kathe Kollwitz
There are moments on most days when I feel a deep and sincere gratitude, when I sit at the open window, and there is a blue sky or moving clouds.
Anthony Trollope
I do not think myself to be a worm, and a grub, grass of the field fit only to be burned, a clod, a morsel of putrid atoms that should be thrown to the dungheap, ready for the nethermost pit. Nor if I did should I therefore expect to sit with Angels and Archangels.
Dr. Joyce Brothers
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
