The Quote and Epigram Edition


Quotes are popular subject of Thursday Thirteen lists. I am nothing if not a mindless toady... a dedicated follower of fashion a aficionado of trends. (Good thing I installed that politically correct filter he he.) So here are 13 quotes that got me to thinking; (NOTE: I have some epigrams here as well. I don't know who may have said them so I marked them as "unknown". If you know the source, let me know so I can update the post and my notes.)
  1. The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of one's self.
    --Jane Addams, American social worker and Nobel Peace laureate (1860-1935).
  2. "The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream…It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for."
    --Benjamin Elijah Mays
  3. "Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged."
    --Helen Keller
  4. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
    --Abraham Lincoln
  5. As a former fetus I oppose abortion.

  6. "Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."
    --Ray Bradbury (who just turned 86)


    7. The rest of the list is below the fold. Go to the end of the post and click "We want to read more!"

  9. Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.
    --Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)
  10. It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.

    --Philippians 4:19 authored by The Holy Spirit.(This is my life's verse
  12. Men of honor never stand for ANY question of their integrity. Liberals on the other hand, are so used to being called liars, that they don't even notice.
