Links at bottom of page
This page leads to a batch of linked pages covering different
topics I have collected in the process of building a software and print
based quotation collection. There are over 1089 quotations in this part of
the web site, with more added regularly. We're happy to accept suggestions
for new subjects to add, and to receive your favorite quotes. If there's a
great quote you know, for a topic we list, which we don't have, PLEASE
send it our way.
If you use a quote from this site for a book, please

Collecting quotations is a serious hobby of mine. I have
about 30,000-40,000 quotes on my hard drive, plus about 350+
quotation related books (sayings, proverbs, etc.) dating back to 1590, and
several CD quote collections. I am interested in proposals
from publishers, authors, web sites, etc. to develop projects using these
resources, which I have been told are among the most extensive in the
world.

My Favorite Quotations
People often ask what my favorite is.
There are so many I like, but here are a few I use often
and keep coming back to. I know they're not short, but then
again, I said quotations, not epigrams. <g>
- "A man is like a bit of
Labrador spar, which has no lustre as you turn it in
your hand until you come to a particular angle; then
it shows deep and beautiful colors. There is
no adaptation or universal applicability in men, but
each has his special Talent, and the mastery of
Successful men consists in adroitly keeping themselves
where and when that turn shall be oftenest to be
practiced."
-
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
- "The
movements of exaltation which belong to genius are
egotistic by their very nature. A calm, clear mind,
not subject to the spasms and crises which are so
often met with in creative or intensely perceptive
natures, is the best basis for love or friendship.
--Observe, I am talking about minds. I won't say, the
more intellect, the less capacity for loving; for that
would do wrong to the understanding and reason;-- but
on the other hand, that the brain runs away with
the heart's best blood, which gives the world a
few pages of wisdom or sentiment or poetry, instead of
making one other heart happy, I have no
question."
- Oliver
Wendell Holmes Senior, THE AUTOCRAT OF THE BREAKFAST
TABLE

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
- Compassion is not religious business,
- it is human business,
- it is not luxury,
- it is essential for our own peace and mental
stability,
- it is essential for human survival.
