Famous Quotes Update
Angela Schwindt
While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
Sophocles, Tiresias. Oedipus the King 315
How terrible it is to have wisdom when it does not benefit those who have it.
Don Marquis
An optimist is a man who has never had much experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - "which is the mostest? which is the leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: the heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.
Rabbi Abraham Heschel
Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there.
Vearncombe, Black, "Paradise"
Just like the falling rainbow Just like the stars in the sky Life should never feel small.
W. C. Fields
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
George Bernard Shaw
Christianity might be a good thing if anyone ever tried it.
