Daily Famous Quotes
Dominique Bouhours
The possibilities for mobilizing the experience, imaginations, and intelligence of workers, both employed and unemployed, are limitless.
Sir John Vanbrugh
Virtue is its own reward. There's a pleasure in doing good which sufficiently pays itself.
R. D. Hitchcock
Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.
Socrates
Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change.

Quotes for Today
Jeremy Bentham, philosopher and animal rights activist
The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But, can they suffer?
Ray Kroc
The quality of an individual is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
Helen Keller
I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty and joy to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.
Richard Baxter
In necessary things, unity in doubtful things, liberty in all things, charity.
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.
Harold Laki
No important institution is ever merely what the law makes it. It accumulates about itself traditions, conventions, ways of behaviour, which are not less formidable in their influence.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I'm just guessing, but probably one of the early signs that your radarscope is wearing out is something I call 'image fuzz-out.' But I've never even seen a radarscope, so I wouldn't totally go by what I've just said here.
Miguel De Cervantes
Among the attributes of God, although they are all equal, mercy shines with even more brilliancy than justice.
