Today's Famous Quotations
Aristotle, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
Dr. Karl Menninger
Generous people are rarely mentally ill.
George Santayana
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.
Seneca
Life without the courage for death is slavery.

Aristotle, Rhetoric
Evil draws men together.

Dwight D Eisenhower
Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some real satisfaction, that day is a loss.

Great Quotes
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Stan Getz
My life is music. And in some vague, mysterious, and subconscious way, I have always been driven by a taut inner spring which has propelled me to almost compulsively reach for perfection in music, often--in fact, mostly--at the expense of everything else in my life.
H. L. Mencken
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
William Shakespeare
While thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head.
George Washington Carver
How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
Danish proverb
To own is to fear.
Richard Milhous Nixon
I let the American people down.
Plato
Thinking The talking of the soul with itself.
George Eliot
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
William Cowper
He has no hope who never had a fear.
Peter Hoeg
I feel the same way about solitude as some people feel about the blessing of the church. It's the light of grace for me. I never close my door behind me without the awareness that I am carrying out an act of mercy toward myself.
Plato, The Republic
Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Famous Quotes for Today
John Lennon, Imagine
Imagine there�s no countries, it isn�t hard to do; nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace.
Laurie E. Colwin
That family glaze of common references, jokes, events, calamities-that sense of a family being like a kitchen midden layer upon layer of the things daily life is made of. The edifice that lovers build is by comparison delicate and one-dimensional.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I must do is all that concerns me. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ephesians 426 Bible New Testament
Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
George Bernard Shaw
A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Andy Warhol
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
