Latest Quotations

Straight to the Quotations ...



Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics


Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.

George W. Bush


Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world it is God's gift to humanity.

Richard Kehl


A little boy came home and told his mother he had gotten first prize in an examination. The question had been How many legs does a horse have He had answered, Three. When his mother asked how he had gotten the first prize, he replied that all the other children had said, Two.

Randolph Silliman Bourne


No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.

John F. Kennedy, Amherst College, Oct 26, 1963 - Source JFK Library, Boston, Mass.


The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation�s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.

Woody Allen


Should I marry W. Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name.

Alexander Pope


Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown proposed as things forgot.

Lois McMaster Bujold


If you want to catch something, running after it isn't always the best way.

Oprah Winfrey


The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957


James, you ought to discover some day that words have an exact meaning.

Daily Famous Quotations

Here are the Famous Quotations ...



Albert Einstein


Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

William H. McNeill


My job is to bore you and let the hardness of your seat and the warmth of your robe prepare you for what is to come.

John Malkovich


It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.

Isaac Asimov


Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

Oscar Wilde, The picture of Dorian Gray


Knowledge would be fatal, it is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things beautiful.

Karl Kleinpaste


Genuinely skillful use of obscenities is uniformly absent on the Internet.

Stan Openshaw - Doomsday


Some people imagine that nuclear war will mean instant and painless death. But for millions this will not be the case. The accounts of the injured at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and of the doctors who tried to tend them, witness to the horrors and torments which would be magnified thousands of times over in the kinds of attack we analyse here. . .
