Today's Famous Quotations

Famous Quotations:

Dorothea Brande


The author of genius does keep till his last breath the spontaneity, the ready sensitiveness, of a child, the "innocence of eye" that means so much to the painter, the ability to respond freshly and quickly to new scenes, and to old scenes as though they were new; to see traits and characteristics as though each were new-minted from the hand of God instead of sorting them quickly into dusty categories and pigeon-holing them without wonder or surprise; to feel situations so immediately and keenly that the word "trite" has hardly any meaning for him; and always to see "the correspondences between things" of which Aristotle spoke two thousand years ago.

Bill Vaughan


The Vice Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.

Joe Moore


There are no answers, only cross-references.

Arthur S. Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha


I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence.

William Ralph Inge, 1920


To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosohpy.

I Ching


Indecision regarding the choice among pleasures temporarily robs a man of inner peace. After due reflection, he attains joy by turning away from the lower pleasures and seeking the higher ones.

William Lyon Phelps


Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation -- what are they They are the happiest people in the world.

William Penn


No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

Titus Maccius Plautus


Things we not hope for often come to pass than things we wish.

Cornelius Stam


The true Church is not an organization, nor does one join it through the noisy mechanics of denominational machinery. Rather it is a living organism, a body, and believers are joined to it by the quiet working of the Holy Spirit.

William Shakespeare


How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere

William Shakespeare


Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance.
