More Famous Quotations

Check out these Famous Quotations:



Alexander Pope


A family is but too often a commonwealth of malignants.

Baron Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett


It's tough watching a good idea lose because its backers are less eloquent or have less clout than its opponents.

Lucan


A show of daring oft conceals great fear.

Simeon Strunsky, No Mean City (1944)


People who want to understand democracy should spend less time in the library with Aristotle and more time on the buses and in the subway.

John K. Hutchens


I do not mean to suggest that our handsome, newly enlarged library is to be a headquarters of busy bookworms, old and young, routinely absorbing knowledge by the hour while birds sing outside and the Mets fight it out for last place in the National League. On the contrary, a good library is a joyful place where the imagination roams free, and life is actively enriched.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca


The pain of a disappointed wish necessarily produces less effect upon the mind if a man has not certainly promised himself success. - De Tranquillitate Animi

William Shakespeare


To be, or not to be that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them To die to sleep No more and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep To sleep perchance to dream ay, there's the rub For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of Thus conscience does make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.

Terence


What is done let us leave alone.

John C. Maxwell


A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.

Smiles


For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control.

James Thurber


He knows all about art, but he doesn't know what he likes.

Karl Marx


From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
