Random Quotes and Quotations
 Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else.  Agatha Christie has given more pleasure in bed than any other woman. "It was as true", said Mr. Barkus, "as taxes is. And nothing is truer than them." All is change; all yields its place and goes. Once I decide to do something, I can't have people telling me I can't. If there's a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, crawl under it. Monuments! what are they? the very pyramids have forgotten their builders, or to whom they were dedicated. Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great. Ascetic: one who makes a necessity of virtue. The world belongs to the energetic. Yet verily these issues lie on the lap of the gods. - Homer None think the great unhappy, but the great. Socrates, indeed, when he was asked of what country he called himself, said, "Of the world"; for he considered himself an inhabitant and a citizen of the whole world. - Cicero Courage does not always march to airs blown by a bugle, it is not always wrought out of the fabric ostentation wears. The incessant witless repetition of advertisers' moron-fodder has become so much a part of life that if we are not careful, we forget to be insulted by it. When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers. However much we guard against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. Problems are only opportunities in work clothes. It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you. Many a friendship-long, loyal, and self-sacrificing-rested at first upon no thicker a foundation than a kind word. Unless you can find some sort of loyalty, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living. It is enough that I am of value to somebody today.
