Great Quotations
D. H. Lawrence
Try to find your deepest issue in every confusion, and abide by that.
Simone Weil
When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.
Radiquet
A true artist is born with a unique voice and cannot copy so he has only to copy to prove his originality.
Unknown
Kisses blown are kisses wasted. Kisses aren't kisses unless they are tasted. Kisses spread germs and germs are hated. So kiss me baby I'm vaccinated.
Unknown, Epitaph on headstone of actor John Wayne (author unknown)
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight, very clean. When it arrives it is perfect. It puts itself in our hands. It hopes we learned something from yesterday.
Jennie Jerome Churchill
Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.
Diane Westlake
Whatever the struggle continue the climb it may be only one step to the summit.
Sir Francis Bacon
Whoever is out of patience is out of possession of his soul. Men must not turn into bees, and kill themselves in stinging others.

Daily Quotations
Muhammad Ali
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams. They have different names but all contain water. Religions have different names, but all contain truth.
Warren Buffett
If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.
Miguel de Cervantes
They can expect nothing but their labour for their pains.
Andrew Lang
You can cover a great deal of country in books.
B. F. Skinner
Society attacks early when the individual is helpless.
Imam Ali-Ibn-Abi-Talib, Nahjul Balgha (Peak of Eloquence), saying no. 2
2. He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.
Marcus Aelius Aurelius
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
German proverb
The eyes believe themselves the ears believe other people.
Thomas Jefferson
I live for books.

Latest greatest Quotes
Kahlil Gibron
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; Yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
John Denver
Whatever meaning 'Annie's Song' had for me on a personal level, there was also a larger context. It could just as easily have been about love for a brother. Or a father. Or a friend. It could just as easily have been a prayer.
Isaac Newton
I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Ovid
It's useful that there should be Gods, so let's believe there are.
John F. Kennedy, "A Thousand Days," by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr [1965]
If I am to die, this is the week for it. -- John F. Kennedy (to aide John McClone in response to a CIA report about rumours of an assassination plot), June 1962.
Simone Weil
To be a hero or a heroine, one must give an order to oneself.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Saadi
A little and a little, collected together, become a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop makes an inundation.
