Daily Famous Quotations
Warren Wiersbe
Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.
Robert Southey
It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment. He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sparks fly upward, unless he has brutified his nature and quenched the spirit of immortality which is his portion.
Robert Townsend
Getting there isn't half the fun - it's all the fun.
Anon.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
The Land Before Time
Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Quotes for Today
Confucius
Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished.
American Proverb
Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
Dwight D Eisenhower
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Pearl Buck, The Joy of Children, 1964
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
Anonymous, As told in Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one. The grandson asked him, Which wolf will win the fight in your heart? The grandfather answered, The one I feed.
Louis L'Amour
He might never really do what he said, but at least he had it in mind. He had somewhere to go.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party when the masks are dropped.
Laertius Diogenes
Democritus says, But we know nothing really for truth lies deep down.
Carl Schurz
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
Will Rogers
Politics has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with.
Anonymous
A man is known by the company he avoids.
H Hahn Blavatsky
Desire nothing, Chafe not at fate, nor at Nature's changeless laws. But struggle only with the personal, the transitory, the evanescent and the perishable.

Great Quotes
Mahatma Gandhi

Such is the essential mystery.

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy

Dame Rose Macaulay
It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead.
Joel Rosenberg
Whatever you want too much you can't have, so when you really want something, try to want it a little less.
