More Quotes for today

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.--
G. K. Chesterton

All slang is a metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.--
G. K. Chesterton

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.--
C. S. Lewis

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.--
Sir Winston Churchill

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering you own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -every day begin the task anew.
Saint Francis de Sales

You cannot slander human nature; it is worse than words can paint it.

Albert Einstein

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
Albert Einstein

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
Isaac Newton

What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
