Voltaire once wrote, "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." Sir Francis Bacon added, "A prudent question is one-half of wisdom."

Misattributed quotes by Benjamin Franklin Wade
You can't go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending. ~ James R. Sherman
Misattributed quotes by James R. Sherman
In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East
especially in India
I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening wihtout a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving
it is not in the result of loving.
These words, taken from the book A Simple Path, are the words of one of the Missionaries of Charity Sisters, not of Mother Teresa. ~ Mother Teresa

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~ Oliver Goldsmith

But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise. ~ Stephen R. Covey
Misattributed quotes by Stephen R. Covey
There are three types of lies
lies, damn lies, and statistics. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Misattributed quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~ Anonymous
Misattributed quotes by Anonymous
Meaning that history is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books - books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?' " He smiled. "By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account." Sophie had never thought of it that way. ~ Dan Brown
Misattributed quotes by Dan Brown
We are all broken - that's how the light gets in. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Misattributed quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much. ~ Anonymous
Misattributed quotes by Anonymous
You never know what you have till you've lost it. ~ Alyson Noel
Misattributed quotes by Alyson Noel
In that case the current orthodoxy happens to be challenged, and so the principle of free speech lapses. Now, when one demands liberty of speech and of the press, one is not demanding absolute liberty. There always must be, or at any rate there always will be, some degree of censorship, so long as organised societies endure. But freedom, as Rosa Luxembourg [sic] said, is 'freedom for the other fellow'. The same principle is contained in the famous words of Voltaire: 'I detest what you say; I will defend to the death your right to say it.' If the intellectual liberty which without a doubt has been one of the distinguishing marks of western civilisation means anything at all, it means that everyone shall have the right to say and to print what he believes to be the truth, provided only that it does not harm the rest of the community in some quite unmistakable way. ~ George Orwell
Misattributed quotes by George Orwell
Well-behaved women seldom make history. ~ Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Misattributed quotes by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is? ~ Frank Scully
Misattributed quotes by Frank Scully
Always speak politely to an enraged dragon. ~ Steven Brust
Misattributed quotes by Steven Brust
Winning isn't everything; it's just the ONLY thing. ~ Henry Sanders
Misattributed quotes by Henry  Sanders
Whatever you do in life will be insignificant. but it is very important that you do it because, You can't know; You can't ever really know the meaning of your life, and you don't need to. Just know that your life has a meaning. Every life has a meaning; whether it lasts one-hundred years or one-hundred seconds.Every life and every death changes the world in its own way. Gandhi knew this. He knew his life would mean something to someone, somewhere, somehow. And he knew with as much certainty that he could never know that meaning. He understood that enjoying life should be of much greater concern than understanding it. And so do I. You can't know. So don't take it for granted; but don't take it too seriously. Don't postpone what you want. Don't leave anything misunderstood. Make sure the people you care about know. Make sure they know how you really feel. Because just like that it could end. ~ Will Fetters
Misattributed quotes by Will Fetters
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. ~ Ludwig Boltzmann
Misattributed quotes by Ludwig Boltzmann
Einstein's remark on the limitlessness of human stupidity is made even more disturbing by the discovery that infinity comes in different sizes. Answering 'How much stupider?' or trying to measure the minimal idiocy bounded by an IQ test are mysteries which are themselves infinitely less alarming than simply attempting to tally the anti-savant population. One can count all the natural idiots (they're the same as the even number of idiots – twice as many), but the number of real idiots continues forever: all the counting idiots (finger reckoners) plus all the fractional idiots (geniuses on a bad day) plus all the irrational idiots (they go on and on and on) add up to a world in which the approaching upper limit of our set of natural resources has its complement in the inexhaustible lower limit of our set of mental ones. ~ Bauvard
Misattributed quotes by Bauvard
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that's where the river will know
it's not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean. ~ Osho
Misattributed quotes by Osho
Just spending time together is not enough, he said. The sorts of activities you engage in are vital. Graham concluded you are driven to grow, to expand, to add to your abilities and knowledge. When you satisfy this motivation for self-expansion by incorporating aspects of your romantic partner or friend into your own skills, philosophies and self, it does more to strengthen your bond than any other act of love. This opens the door to one of the best things about misattribution of emotion. If, like those in the study, you persevere through a challenge - be it remodeling a kitchen yourself or learning how to dance the Dougie - that glowing feeling of becoming wiser, that buoyant sense of self-expansion, will be partially misattributed to the presence of the other person. ~ David McRaney
Misattributed quotes by David McRaney
There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit. ~ Ronald Reagan
Misattributed quotes by Ronald Reagan
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. ~ Laurence J. Peter
Misattributed quotes by Laurence J. Peter
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Misattributed quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword. ~ Thomas Fuller
Misattributed quotes by Thomas Fuller
How lucky I am to have known somebody and something that saying goodbye to is so damned awful. ~ Evans G. Valens
Misattributed quotes by Evans G. Valens
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. ~ Robert Orben
Misattributed quotes by Robert Orben
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relatio ~ Bob Moorehead
Misattributed quotes by Bob Moorehead
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these. ~ Lloyd Shearer
Misattributed quotes by Lloyd Shearer
When EVIL men make bad laws, righteous men disobey them."
Pastor Butch Paugh ~ Tarrin P. Lupo

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. ~ Anonymous

Give a girl the right shoes and she will conquer the world. ~ Anonymous
Misattributed quotes by Anonymous
Paradoxically, intensifiers like very, highly, and extremely also work like hedges. They not only fuzz up a writer's prose but can undermine his intent. If I'm wondering who pilfered the petty cash, it's more reassuring to hear Not Jones; he's an honest man than Not Jones; he's a very honest man. The reason is that unmodified adjectives and nouns tend to be interpreted categorically: honest means "completely honest," or at least "completely honest in the way that matters here" (just as Jack drank the bottle of beer implies that he chugged down all of it, not just a sip or two). As soon as you add an intensifier, you're turning an all-or-none dichotomy into a graduated scaled. True, you're trying to place your subject high on the scale - say, an 8.7 out of 10 - but it would have been better if the reader were not considering his relative degree of honesty in the first pace. That's the basis for the common advice (usually misattributed to Mark Twain) to "substitute damn every time you're inclined to write very; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be" - though today the substitution would have to be of a word stronger than damn. ~ Steven Pinker
Misattributed quotes by Steven Pinker
God made the world for the delight of human beings
if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we've waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us
you just can't resist Him. I believe there's no such thing as luck in life, it's God's love, it's His. ~ Mother Teresa
Misattributed quotes by Mother Teresa
The great enemy of communication, we find, is the illusion of it. We have talked enough; but we have not listened. And by not listening we have failed to concede the immense complexity of our society - and thus the great gaps between ourselves and those with whom we seek understanding. ~ William H. Whyte
Misattributed quotes by William H. Whyte
