Great Quotes

The void yields up nothing. You have to be a great poet to make it ring Picture Quote #1

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege Picture Quote #1

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his sort-comings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned Picture Quote #1

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one Picture Quote #1

I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride - humility in the weight of those great American architects of our history who have stood here before me; pride in the reflection that this home of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised Picture Quote #1

A great thing can only be done by a great person; and they do it without effort Picture Quote #1

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything Picture Quote #1

In the lack of judgment great harm arises, but one vote cast can set right a house Picture Quote #1

To be a liar, you've got to have a great memory, and I don't have a memory Picture Quote #1

I'd like to think I could do something great - a performance like Meryl Streep's in Sophie's Choice - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be great Picture Quote #1

Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, the touch of the Great Master which completes the picture Picture Quote #1

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater Picture Quote #1

Liberty is so great a magician, endowed with so marvelous a power of productivity, that under the inspiration of this spirit alone, north America was able within less than a century to equal, and even surpass, the civilization of Europe Picture Quote #1

What he wrote was this: The great tragedy of my life is that in my search for the Holy Grail everyone calls True Love, I see myself as Zorro, a romantic and mysterious highwayman - and the women I desire see me as Porky Pig Picture Quote #1

Many years later I was told that the great specialist had admitted to friends of his that he had altered his treatment of neurasthenia since reading the Yellow Wallpaper. It was not intended to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy, and it worked Picture Quote #1

If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt Picture Quote #1

Wrest once the law to your authority, to do a great right, do a little wrong Picture Quote #1

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pitch and moment with this regard their currents turn awry and lose the name of action Picture Quote #1

Well of course there's been a great deal of progress over the last 40 years. We don't have laws that segregate black people within the society any longer Picture Quote #1

It is a great sin to swear unto a sin, but greater sin to keep a sinful oath Picture Quote #1

If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now Picture Quote #1

Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them Picture Quote #1

As I grew older, I understood that instructions came with this voice. What were these instructions? The instructions were never to lament casually.
