Today's Famous Quotations
W. M. L. Jay
Though a good motive cannot sanction a bad action, a bad motive will always vitiate a good action. In common and trivial matters we may act without motives, but in momentous ones the most careful deliberation is wisdom.
Japanese Proverb
The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.
Henry David Thoreau
The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.
Albert Einstein
As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives.
Henry Adams
What one knows is, in youth, of little moment they know enough who know how to learn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
General Karl Von Clausewitz, Book: "On War"
War is the continuation of politics by other means.
Heraclitus
Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.
J. William Fulbright
In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects.
Lord Acton
The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.
