Daily Famous Quotations
Sir Thomas Browne
Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.
William Strunk Jr., Elements of Style
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
Malcolm Stevenson Forbes
If you never budge, don't expect a push.
Child Age 6
Home is where the house is.
Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Charles De Gaulle
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.
Douglas Adams
Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of.
H. L. Mencken
Judge: a law student who marks his own papers.
Marie Curie
I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.
Gore Vidal
For certain people after fifty, litigation takes the place of sex.
Francis Quarles
Be very circumspect in the choice of thy company. In the society of thine equals thou shalt enjoy more pleasure; in the society of thy superiors thou shalt find more profit. To be the best in the company is the way to grow worse.
