Quotes for Today
Rick Moranis
Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
Edith Sitwell
Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
Frank McKinney Hubbard
Everything comes to him who waits but a loaned book.
Dean Briggs
Do your work not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishings sake--that little more which is worth all the rest.
Young
Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fool reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven.
Dale Carnegie
Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

Great Famous Quotes
Ghandi
Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
Marcus Valerius Martialis, Epigrams
A man who lives everywhere lives nowhere.
Elizabeth Berg
There is incredible value in being of service to others. I think if most of the people in therapy offices were dragged out to put their finger in a dike, take up their place in a working line, they would be relieved of terrible burdens.
Bobby Sanghavi
I am not an optimist, but i am not a pessimist, what I am is a realist.
Charles Lamb
Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength.
Israel Zangwill
The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition.
Dale Carnegie
If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.
Jean Cocteau
The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizzare which seems inherent in them.
Plato
As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have least with are the greatest babblers.
Clifton Paul Fadiman
I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.
Italian Proverb
Years and sins are always more than owned.
