Warren Gamaliel Harding
I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends...They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights
Dolly Parton
Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
Sir John Lubbock
When important decisions have to be taken, the natural anxiety to come to a right decision will often keep you awake. Nothing, however, is more conducive to healthful sleep than plenty of open air.
Weisert
As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error.
Lao Tzu
Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.
Molly Ringwald
If you leave home for a while ... you question the conventional wisdom you've grown up with. That doesn't mean you have to change your opinions or who you are, but it's good to ask the questions.
Samuel Butler
Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.

Quotations for Today
Turkish Proverb
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
William James
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
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.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
All cruelty springs from weakness.
George Sarton, History of Science
There are but few saints amongst scientists, as among other men, but truth itself is a goal comparable with sanctity.
Richard Jeni
It is a sad fact that 50 percent of marriages in this country end in divorce. But hey, the other half end in death. You could be one of the lucky ones!
Germaine Greer
Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life.
Robert Louis Stephenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Sophocles
How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be When there's no help in truth
Kelly Marshall
It matters not how tall you are, but how straight you grow.

Douglas Noel Adams
Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we'll do it because it's brilliant nonsense.

So if it seems that some of what I'll have to say in the pages to come doesn't reflect the mellowing of age, that's only because I've never found that life and memories respond to time the way that tobacco does.
Charles Rosin
There's something intrinsically therapeutic about choosing to spend your time in a wide, open park- like setting that non-golfers can never truly understand.

Quotes Update
Victor Hugo
Dream no small dreams. They have no power to stir the souls of men.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic that counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming but he who does actually strive to do the deed who knows the great devotion who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat.
David Wells
God's people have no assurances that the dark experiences of life will be held at bay, much less that God will provide some sort of running commentary on the meaning of each day's allotment of confusion, boredom, pain, or achievement.
Pythagoras
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Michel de Montaigne
I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself.
Albert Einstein
There is an atmosphere of well-sounding oratory that likes to attach itself to dress clothes. Away with it
Leon Trotsky
If we had more time for discussion, we should probably have made a great many more mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
Wilbert Donald Gough
In marriage, being the right person is as important as finding the right person.
