Today's Quotations

Quotations:



Mary Wortley Montagu

Roth Gabrielle


If you just set people in motion they'll heal themselves.

Mother Theresa


One must really have suffered oneself to help others.

C. C. Colton


Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter the temple of wisdom. When we are in doubt and puzzle out the truth by our own exertions, we have gained something that will stay by us and will serve us again. But if to avoid the trouble of the search we avail ourselves of the superior information of a friend, such knowledge will not remain with us; we have not bought, but borrowed it.

Aristotle, Politics


He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

James W. Fulbright, March 27, 1964


We must dare to think "unthinkable" thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. We must learn to welcome and not to fear the voices of dissent. We must dare to think about "unthinkable things" because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.

Connie Chung to Johnny Carson
