The seed of revolution is repression.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson

Quote of the Day

We are weighed down, every moment, by the

conception and the sensation of Time.

And there are but two means of escaping

and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work.

Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us.

Let us choose.

Charles Pierre Baudelaire

Quote of the Day

The whole history of civilization is strewn

with creeds and institutions which were

invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.

Walter Bagehot

You will do foolish things,

but do them with enthusiasm.

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

To follow, without halt, one aim:

There's the secret of success.

Anna Pavlovna Pavlova

Quote of the Day

The real test of a man is not how well he plays the

role he has invented for himself, but how well

he plays the role that destiny assigned to him.

Jan Patočka

Quote of the Day

There has to be a certain enigma in it,

which does not immediately catch the eye.

Maurits Cornelis "M.C." Escher

Quote of the Day

The welfare state is not really about the welfare

of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites.

Thomas Sowell

Quote of the Day

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in

winter. Who would think that those

branches would turn green

again and blossom,

but we hope it,

we know it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Quote of the Day

Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that

have been taxed in the past and putting taxes

on things that haven't been taxed before.

You can't get rid of poverty

by giving people money.

Patrick Jake O'Rourke

Quote of the Day

Age is only a number, a cipher for the records.

A man can't retire his experience. He

must use it. Experience achieves

more with less energy and time.

Bernard Mannes Baruch

Quote of the Day

We expect merit will determine who will play

and who will lead. But coaches and athletics

administrators themselves are not always

selected, it would appear, entirely on their merits.

Dr. Myles David Brand

Quote of the Day

No man can sit down and withhold his

hands from the warfare against wrong

and get peace from his acquiescence.

Woodrow Wilson

Quote of the Day

You can't get much done in life if you only

work on the days when you feel good.

Talent is God-given. Be humble.

Fame is man-given. Be grateful.

Quote of the Day

There are a lot of great movies that have won the

Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that

haven't. You just do the best you can.

When I grew up in the 60's, your hair had to

be straight and you had to be skinny and

have no boobs, and it was like not my era.

Quote of the Day

Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between

childhood and old age. It is the apparent

aim of modern industrial societies to

reduce this period to a minimum.

Thomas Stephen Szasz

Quote of the Day

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive

so great, and no tonic so powerful as

expectation of something better tomorrow.

Orison Swett Marden

Quote of the Day

There are two kinds of men who never amount

to much: those who cannot do what they are

told and those who can do nothing else.

Quote of the Day

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not

back again. Wisely improve the present.

It is thine. Go forth to meet the

shadowy future, without fear.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Quote of the Day

We spend January 1 walking through our lives,

room by room, drawing up a list of work to be

done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year,

to balance the list, we ought to walk

through the rooms of our lives... not

looking for flaws, but for potential.
