Today's Quotations
Francis Bacon
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men...the master of superstition is the people and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reverse order.
Thomas Paine
I fear not, I see not reason for fear. In the end we will be the victors. For though at times the flame of liberty may cease to shine, the ember will never expire.
Gail Sheehy
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.
Jimmy Durante
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Yogi Berra
You can observe a lot just by watching.
Monica Baldwin
I have always felt that the moment when first you wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Quotations for Today
Pete Holiday
Capitalism needs to function like a game of tug-of-war. Two opposing sides need to continually struggle for dominance, but at no time can either side be permitted to walk away with the rope.
Lao Tzu
I have three treasures. Guard and keep them The first is deep love, The second is frugality, And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world. Because of deep love, one is courageous. Because of frugality, one is generous. Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
Sir Walter Raleigh
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is the greatest of all tools for leading mankind by the nose.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Why does no one confess his sins Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
H. L. Mencken
It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull.
Aristotle
There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Heraclitus
Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.
Johnson
The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things--the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Well behaved women seldom make history.
