More Famous Quotations
Martin Luther King
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
George Bernard Shaw, when asked on his deathbed, �What would you do if you could live your life over again?
I�d like to be the person I could have been but never was.
Albert Camus
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.
Eric Hoffer
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
Giacomo Leopardi
Real misanthropes are not found in solitude, but in the real world since it is experience of life, and not philosophy, which produces real hatred of mankind.
Anne
It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself.
Carrie Fisher
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
Victoria Damon
We never learn to pray, really pray- until we are in a situatioin where there is nothing left to do but pray.
Bertrand Russell
The main things which seem to me important on their own account, and not merely as means to other things, are knowledge, art, instinctive happiness, and relations of frendship or affection.
Oscar Wilde
Dreamers can find their way by moonlight and their only punishment is that they see the dawn before the rest of the world.
Simondes of Ceos
Where as gold is the kindest of all hosts when it shines in the sky, it comes an evil guest unto those that receive it in their hand.

Brian Sutton-Smith
The parent who gets down on the floor to play with a child on Christmas Day is usually doing a most remarkable thing -- something seldom repeated during the rest of the year. These are, after all, busy parents committed to their work or their success in the larger society, and they do not have much left-over time in which to play with their children.
Lao Tzu
It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back.
Gore Vidal
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.
Germaine Greer
Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life.
