When I quote others I do so in order to express my own ideas more clearly. - Michel de Montaigne One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well. - Amos Bronson Alcott To select well among old things, is almost equal to inventing new ones. - Nicholas Charles Trublet I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is my own. - Michel de Montaigne Proverbs are mental gems gathered in the diamond districts of the mind. - William R. Alger What gems of painting or statuary are in the world of art, or what flowers are in the world of nature, are gems of thought to the cultivated and the thinking. - Oliver Wendell Holmes Great truths are portions of the soul of man; Great souls are portions of eternity. - James Russell Lowell Proverbs are the cream of a nation's thought. - Unknown There is not less wit, not less invention, in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that book. - Pierre Boyle A maxim is the exact and noble expression of an important and indisputable truth. Good maxims are the germs of all excellence; when firmly fixed on the memory, they nourish the will. - Joseph Joubert It is delightful to transport one's self into the spirit of the past, to see how a wise man has thought before us, and to what glorious height we have at last reached. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Time is of of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors' minds ages ago. - Samuel Smiles Proverbs may be said to be the abridgment of wisdom. - Joseph Joubert A well-cultivated mind is, so to speak, made up of all the minds of preceding ages; it is only one single mind which has been educated during all this time. - Bernard de Bovier de Fontenelle Maxims are the condensed good sense of nations. - Sir J. Mackintosh Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold. - Tryon Edwards Important "Quote of the Day" Notice: Please note that while some daily quote or daily text message groups may link to this site, this site currently does not have a "quote of the day" feature and is not affiliated with any Yahoo groups, MSN groups, religious groups, Upoc groups or other organizations that send out daily inspirational messages.
