Latest Famous Quotations
Clarence Day
As time goes on, new and remoter aspects of truth are discovered which can seldom be fitted into creeds that are changeless.
James McNeill Whistler
Two and two continue to make four, in spite of the whine of the amateur for three, or the cry of the critic for five.
Leonardo da Vinci, The Notebooks
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
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.
Maxims of Ptahhotep, 3400 B.C.
Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.
Aldous Huxley
The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
Confucius, The Confucian Analects
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
Saint Francis of Assisi
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903
A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.
John Skelton, Replication Against Certain Young Scholars
I say, thou mad March hare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we call results are beginnings.
Heywood Broun, Sitting on the World, 1924
Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anyone else.
