Quote(s) of the Day

As usual, brought to you by the fine folks at Wordsmith.Org's A.Word.A.Day


"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
-William Shakespeare (from "Hamlet")


"Right now I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before."
-Steven Wright, comedian (b. 1955)


"For money you can have everything, it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but no sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money."
-Arne Garborg, writer (1851-1924)
