More Quotations
Thomas Fuller
The grave is the general meeting place.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Bertrand Russell
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
Joan Borysenko
'Tisn't life that matters 'Tis the courage you bring to it.
Aldous Huxley
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Epicurus
In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.
Niccola Sebastiani
If someone tells you that the fully armored man of the Middle Ages was so encumbered by his armor that he could not rise if he fell, you may well ask yourself, first, if it is reasonable to assume that professional soldiers would go on wearing armor that kept them from fighting and second, if this theory is in line with what you know of the heavily armored men of your personal acquaintance.
Carlos Fuentes
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Harold Loukes
An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception.
Lydia M. Child
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Horace, Epistles
Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.

Latest Quotations
Brian Sutton-Smith
The parent who gets down on the floor to play with a child on Christmas Day is usually doing a most remarkable thing -- something seldom repeated during the rest of the year. These are, after all, busy parents committed to their work or their success in the larger society, and they do not have much left-over time in which to play with their children.
John Haldane
So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.
Thomas Paine
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.
James Branch Cabell
There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.
Douglas Noel Adams
Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we'll do it because it's brilliant nonsense.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
In youth men are apt to write more wisely than they really know or feel and the remainder of life may be not idly spent in realizing and convincing themselves of the wisdom which they uttered long ago.
Turkish Proverb
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
E. M. Cioran
Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people If we attended more to ourselves and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish.
Frederick Bastiat, "Government" published in 1848
Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
