Latest Famous Quotes
Mark Twain
I have never examined the subject of humor until now. I am surprised to find how much ground it covers. I have got its divisions and frontiers down on a piece of paper. I find it defined as a production of the brain, as the power of the brain to produce something humorous, and the capacity of percieving humor.
Jane Austen
Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.
Harry S Truman
The only new thing is history we don't know.
Frederick Douglass
Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Kahlil Gibran
During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much.
Hugh McColl, Jr.
Without question, reading has been the foundation of whatever success I've had in my life.
W. J. Cameron
The last dejected effort often becomes the winning stroke.
Robert De Niro
The talent is in the choices.
Patrick Henry, Meeting of the First Continental Congress in 1774
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Arthur Stringer, "The Silver Poppy"
Society, my dear, is like salt water, good to swim in but hard to swallow.

Daily Quotes
Thomas H. Huxley
The world makes up for all its follies and injustices by being damnably sentimental.
Gertrude Stein
The first hope of a painter who feels hopeful about painting is the hope that the painting will move, that it will live outside its frame.
Alexander Pope
Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend.
Crowfoot
What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
Jim Rohn
It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.
T. T. Munger
Providence has nothing good or high in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high or good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success.

Who to himself is law, no law doth need.
Valerie Natress
There is nothing worse than falling prey To someone else's confusion.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, "A Few Figs from Thistles", 1920

But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
