Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them

Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary", ch. 12


...exaggerated turns of speech conceal mediocre affections: as if the fulness of the soul might not sometimes overflow in the emptiest of metaphors, since no one, ever, can give the exact measurements of his needs, nor of his conceptions, nor of his sufferings, and the human word is like a cracked cauldron upon which we beat out melodies fit for making bears dance when we are trying to move the stars to pity.

Richard Milhous Nixon


The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.

John Keats

Thomas Carlyle


Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.

Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality


Just being honest is not enough. The essential ingredient is executive integrity.

Eric Hoffer


To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes - we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.

E. M. Cioran


Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people If we attended more to ourselves and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish.

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.

Some cool Quotations to liven up your day

Name:
Location: Los Alamos, California, United States

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.I'm always there to tell people that their life is not that bad. I wish it was easy to follow that advice It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore. ... Francois De La Rochefoucauld
