Dr. Joyce Brothers


Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.

Tom Stoppard


If Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at the age of 22, it would have changed the history of music... and of aviation.

Terry Goodkind


People will believe anything. They will believe it because they want it to be true, or because they are afraid it is.

Rod Serling


The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own -- for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills Wilde


It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

Jules Feiffer


Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence.

George Santayana


When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.

J. G. C. Brainard


Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.

Groucho Marx, "Duck Soup" 1934


Love goes out the door when money comes innuendo.

Robert Ingersoll


The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.

Augusta E. Rundell


Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

James Clarke


A politician thinks of the next election a statesman of the next generation.

Leo Tolstoy


The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

Norman Vincent Peale


When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him. You lift the relationship thereby to a higher level. The best in the other person begins to flow out toward you as your best flows toward him. In the meeting of the best in each a higher unity of understanding is established.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say, There lived a great people-a black people-who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.

Louis L'Amour


He might never really do what he said, but at least he had it in mind. He had somewhere to go.

R. D. Hitchcock


Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.

When we cannot hope to win, it is an advantage to yield.
