Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it.

Today's Famous Quotations

Famous Quotations:



Logan Pearsall Smith


There are two things to aim at in life first, to get what you want and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

Confucius, The Confucian Analects


If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere - although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.

George Santayana


Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope.

Elizabeth Taylor


Success is a great deodorant.

Lyndon B. Johnson


I greet you as the shapers of American society.

John Stuart Mill


If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.

Michael Korda


Success has always been easy to measure. It is the distance between one's origins and one's final achievement.

Terence


Of my friends, I am the only one I have left.

Proverbs 2717 Bible


As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countance of his friend.

George Eliot


The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined.

Oscar Wilde


Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.
