Quotes for Today
Peter McWilliams
Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.
Thomas Brummond
Property has its duties as well as its rights.
Publilius Syrus
We must give lengthy deliberation to what has to be decided once and for all.
Eduard Sagalaev
The process of creating new, democratic organs of government power is beginning, and, as never before, the greatest responsibility rests with the broadcast media.

Great Famous Quotations
Ato Boldon
My performances have finally caught up with my ego.
Henry David Thoreau
The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible And indescribably as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, A segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
D. H. Lawrence
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
Robert Terwilliger
Committing yourself is a way of finding out who you are. A man finds his identity by identifying. A man's identity is not best thought of as the way in which he is separated from his fellows but the way in which he is united with them.

Quotes Update
William Cowper
O Winter ruler of the inverted year, . . . I crown thee king of intimate delights, Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, And all the comforts that the lowly roof Of undisturb'd Retirement, and the hours Of long uninterrupted evening, know.
Richard Milhous Nixon
There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I'm not like that ... I never shoot blanks.
Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays With Morrie
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
Stevie Smith
This Englishwoman is so refined
She has no bosom and no behind.
Arsenio Hall
On doing another talk show It would be like going back to a relationship. Ever do that You go out with a girl you used to date, she looks so damn good, and then at a certain point you say, Boy, now I remember. I know why I left
Dorothy Gilman, A New Kind of Country, 1978
If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel - nothing at all. The best things arrive on time.
Bertrand Russell
Drunkenness is temporary suicide.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Great Quotes
H. L. Mencken
Creator: a comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh.
La Rochefoucauld
People would never fall in love if they had not heard love talked about.
C. S. Lewis
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
Will Rogers
With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke.
Muhammad Ali
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Bob Dylan
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.
Sigmund Freud
The goal of all life is death.
