Today's Famous Quotes
William Shakespeare, "King Henry VI Part III", Act 2 scene 1
And many strokes, though with a little axe,
Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.
J. D. Salinger
If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
Egyptian Inscription Recorded at the Time of the Invention of Writing
Would I had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, in new language that has not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance which has grown stale, which men of old have spoken.
Thomas Love Peacock
Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies.
Herbert Welch
It is possible to love your friends, your competitors, and even your enemies. It is hard, bitterly hard, but there is a long distance between hard and impossible.
Chris Evert
If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that is a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life.
