Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Dickens

Although I am an old man, night is generally my time for walking.

Charles Dickens

There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.

Charles Caleb Colton

Mathematicians have sought knowledge in figures, Philosophers in systems, Logicians in subtleties, and Metaphysicians in sounds. It is not in any nor in all of these. He that studies only men, will get the body of knowledge without the soul, and he that studies only books, the soul without the body.

Charles Caleb Colton

When in reading we meet with any maxim that may be of use, we should take it for our own, and make an immediate application of it, as we would of the advice of a friend whom we have purposely consulted.

Charles Caleb Colton

We should choose our books as we would our companions, for their sterling and intrinsic merit.

Charles Caleb Colton

Some read to think, these are rare; some to write, these are common; and some read to talk, and these form the great majority.

Charles Caleb Colton

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.

Charles Caleb Colton

With books, as with companions, it is of more consequence to know which to avoid, than which to choose, for good books are as scarce as good companions, and in both instances, all that we can learn from baad ones is, that some much time has been worse than thrown away.

Charles Caleb Colton

He that studies only men will get the body of knowledge without the soul; and he that studies only books, the soul without the body.

Chris Brown

One thing people often want me to talk about is my public love life. When it comes to my love life, the perception seems as though I am a player. But that’s not true. Love is something I am still learning. It’s just an obstacle that I haven’t yet mastered. I think that’s my biggest hurdle in life.

Chita Rivera

I love life. I love the live theater.

Carter Heyward

Love is a choice — not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guide. Love is a conversion to humanity — a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life.

Arthur Rubinstein

People are always setting conditions for happiness... I love life without condition.

Deb Caletti

Too often in my life, love has been defined as "humiliation with occasional roses".

Charles Manson

If I wanted anyone killed, I'd kill them myself. But I don't want anyone killed because I love my own life. Does that make any sense? I love life and I love living, but no, I don't want to live in society. Society don't want me, why should I want them? I don't belong in society and there's no place in society that I fit.

Benjamin Franklin

Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!

William Shakespeare

If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.

William Shakespeare

The wounds invisible that Love's keen arrows make.

Deborah Norville

Im about as straight an arrow as youll find out there.

Edmund Waller

Music so softens and disarms the mind That not an arrow does resistance find.

Charles Dickens

The aim of talk should be like the aim of a flying arrow -- to hit the mark; but to this end there must be a mark to hit, that is, there must be a listener.

Arthur Eddington

So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

William Shakespeare

As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark...so many a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.

African-American Proverb

Let rats shoot arrows at each other. Sudan

Brian Eno

I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
