Famous Quotations Update
Adrian Mitchell
Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people.
Ernest Hemingway
Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.
Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus
That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as exists in man, even if during his waking state he may know nothing about it... We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.
Marya Mannes
The sign of an intelligent people is their ability to control emotions by the application of reason.
Sir Arthur Helps
Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.
Arab Proverb
An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.
Bertrand Russell
'Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
C. C. Colton
There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves.
