"They tell you that you'll lose your mind when you grow older. What they don't tell you is that you won't miss it very much." Malcolm Cowley Rate this Quote
"Habit with him was all the test of truth, It must be right: I've done it from my youth." George Crabbe Rate this Quote
"You often get a better hold upon a problem by going away from it for a time and dismissing it from your mind altogether." Frank H. Crane 4.3333 average rating Rate this Quote
"The children despise their parents until the age of 40, when they suddenly become just like them-thus preserving the system." Quentin Rate this Quote
"Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life." Quentin Crisp 4.6667 average rating Rate this Quote
"Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed." Amanda Cross 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"To keep the fire burning brightly, there's one easy rule: keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart -- about a finger's breadth -- for breathing room. Good fire, good marriage, same rule." Marnie Reed Crowell 4.6667 average rating Rate this Quote
"Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point: every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough; the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well-organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions? Let us examine the question." Aleister Crowley 4.1667 average rating Rate this Quote
"What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day, a work of art taking form with every breath." Thomas Crum 4.7500 average rating Rate this Quote
"It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are." E(dward) E(stlin) Cummings 4.3077 average rating Rate this Quote
"I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work 15 and 16 hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example." Mario M(atthew) Cuomo 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Courageous risks are life-giving, they help you grow, make you brave, and better than you think you are." Joan L. Curcio 4.5714 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Every step toward Christ kills a doubt. Every thought, word, and deed for Him carries you away from discouragement." Theodore Ledyard Cuyler 4.2500 average rating Rate this Quote
"You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader." Anthony J. D'Angelo 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses it purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind." Leonardo da Vinci 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind." Leonardo da Vinci 4.7778 average rating Rate this Quote
"If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams about what life should be, then maturity is letting go again." Mary Beth Danielson 3.8182 average rating Rate this Quote
"One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this." "Joe" 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it." Clarence Seward Darrow Rate this Quote
