Today's Famous Quotations
Jerry Coleman
Mike Caldwell, the Padres' right-handed southpaw, will pitch tonight.
Bertrand Russell
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Caleb Carr
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.
Bruce Lee
True refinement seeks simplicity.
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.
John Haldane
So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.
Kelly Marshall
It matters not how tall you are, but how straight you grow.
Turkish Proverb
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Unknown
Psychiatry is the care of the id by the odd.
Thales, (The Seven Sages) from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
Know thyself.
Mark Twain, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", Chapter 2
He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.
