Motivational Quotes of the Day

[Today's Quotes] [Archive Index]

Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - April 17, 2016

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.: William Penn (1644 - 1718)
There are always survivors at a massacre. Among the victors, if nowhere else.: Lois McMaster Bujold, Ethan of Athos, 1986
I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park
When you really trust someone, you have to be okay with not understanding some things.: Gordon Atkinson, Real Live Preacher weblog, 07-08-04
