Latest Famous Quotes
1 Peter 47-8 Bible
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Sir Winston Churchill
For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.
Publilius Syrus
If you refuse where you have always granted you invite to theft.
Jesse Jackson
Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.
John Dingell
If I were to select a jack-booted group of fascists who are perhaps as large a danger to American society as I could pick today, I would pick BATF.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, The Crazy Ape
When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.
Thomas Jefferson
Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence ... too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment.
Marlon Brando
All I want to be is normally insane.
John Dryden
Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
