More Famous Quotations
Joe Orton
I'd the upbringing a nun would envy and that's the truth. Until I was fifteen I was more familiar with Africa than my own body.
Andrew Schneider
Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt.
Paul Sweeney
True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.
William Shakespeare
To business that we love, we rise betime and go to't with delight.
Erma Bombeck
There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I' That's where courage comes in.
Robertson Davies, "Fifth Business"
He was a genius - that is to say, a man who does superlatively and without obvious effort something that most people cannot do by the uttermost exertion of their abilities.
Benjamin Franklin
By heaven we understand a state of happiness infinite in degree, and endless in duration.
Sidney Madwed
Thoughts are funny little things,
They can make paupers or make kings.
