Great Quotes

As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and, try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our own day Picture Quote #1

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day Picture Quote #1

There are so many people who want you to fail. It's not your job to prove them wrong. Let them be and just keep being GREAT Picture Quote #1

There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness; and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much Picture Quote #1

Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms Picture Quote #1

It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen Picture Quote #1

Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland Picture Quote #1

Every winter, when the great sun has turned his face away, the Earth goes down into a vale of grief, and fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- then leaps in spring to his returning kisses Picture Quote #1

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, can never know what true friendship means Picture Quote #1

God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see Picture Quote #1

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart Picture Quote #1

None of our men are experts. We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the expert state of mind a great number of things become impossible Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do Picture Quote #1

I operate from a place of delusion - that's what the fame is all about... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth Picture Quote #1

Our combination of great research universities, a pro-risk business culture, deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world Picture Quote #1

A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night Picture Quote #1

Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh to-day as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago Picture Quote #1

There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light Picture Quote #1

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion. Over a large number of bets, the odds even out and we can make predictions; that's why casino owners are so rich. But over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important Picture Quote #1

The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope Picture Quote #1

In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't change policy Picture Quote #1

I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in Picture Quote #1

They're trying to destroy my family, so I take great umbrage with that. And defeat is not an option. They picked a fight with a warlock Picture Quote #1

We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands upon himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself Picture Quote #1

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers Picture Quote #1

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success Picture Quote #1

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves. We must purposely be kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart which goes out of itself gets large and full. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others Picture Quote #1

Ninety nine percent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion Picture Quote #1

The Great Society created by steam and electricity may be a society, but it is no community Picture Quote #1

The world is always full of brilliant youth which fades into grey and embittered middle age: the first flowering takes everything. The great men are those who have developed slowly, or who have been able to survive the glamour of their early florescence and to go on learning from life Picture Quote #1
