Lillian Eichler Watson
Happiness is not in having being it is in doing.
Thomas H. Huxley

G. K. Chesterton
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult, and not tried.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.
Kim Hubbard

Oscar Levant
I have no trouble with my enemies. But my goddam friends,...they are the ones that keep me walking the floor nights.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
If you're ever stuck in some thick undergrowth in your underwear, don't stop and start thinking of what other words have 'under' in them, because that's probably the first sign of jungle madness.

Famous Quotations Update
Conrad Hilton
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.
Henry Louis Mencken
Whenever A annoys or injures B on the pretense of saving or improving X, A is a scoundrel.
Plato
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Aubrey Menen
The essence of success is that it is never necessary to think of a new idea oneself. It is far better to wait until somebody else does it, and then to copy him in every detail, except his mistakes.
George Eliot, Romola, 1863
Our deeds are like children that are born to us; they live and act apart from our own will. Nay, children may be strangled, but deeds never: they have an indestructible life both in and out of our consciousness.
Maurice Masterlinck
All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.
Plato, The Republic
There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.
