Famous Quotes & Sayings

Jim Calhoun

We've always treasured it and we still treasure it. If, after the game, we say it wasn't that important to us, we're lying to you. It's important to us. Is it the most important thing? No. But we'd like to be Big East champs.

Jose Gutierrez

Whenever my old girl would catch me with a new one, I'd tell her she was just a friend - but she was really a new honey. Lying just, I don't know. It seemed like the nicer way to go.

Jim Butler

What happens now is that the reckoning begins. Two decades of concealing the truth and lying are coming to an end.

William C. Bryant

Lo! while we are gazing, in swifter haste Stream down the snows, till the air is white, As, myriads by myriads madly chased, They fling themselves from their shadowy height. The fair, frail creatures of middle sky, What speed they make, with their grave so nigh; Flake after flake, To lie in the dark and silent lake!

Arthur Murphy

The families of Aboriginals who have died in custody in NSW will suffer again because of these white lies.

Arthur Holly Compton

Faith gives the courage to live and do. Scientists, with their disciplined thinking, like others, need a basis for the good life, for aspiration, for courage to do great deeds. They need a faith to live by. The hope of the world lies in those who have such faith and who use the methods of science to make their visions become real. Visions and hope and faith are not part of science. They are beyond the nature that science knows. Of such is the religion that gives meaning to life.

John Powell

You just don't make decisions about what you're going to be like when you are old. I know that I am making that decision right now. Every time we perceive ourselves, others, life, the world and God in a certain way, we are deepening the habits that will take over in old age. Every time I act on the insights that I am getting now I am deciding my future and choosing to be a kindly or cynical old man. Our yesterdays lie heavily upon our todays and our todays will lie heavily upon our tomorrows.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

The Internet is really our meeting place. We have this amazing listserv. Every time I log onto it I feel a sense of pride, because if you log on and say, "Oh I was just in San Diego and I was in a park and I saw a lion," the flurry of replies on average is just like--wow! All these existential questions about what it means to be an African, and never having seen a lion at home, but having seen a lion here. Everything you say turns into this real philosophical debate--it's incredible in so many ways. And it's an invigorating place to be.

Charles Baudelaire

The being who, for most men, is the source of the most lively, and even, be it said, to the shame of philosophical delights, the most lasting joys; the being towards or for whom all their efforts tend for whom and by whom fortunes are made and lost; for whom, but especially by whom, artists and poets compose their most delicate jewels; from whom flow the most enervating pleasures and the most enriching sufferings - woman, in a word, is not, for the artist in general... only the female of the human species. She is rather a divinity, a star.

Charles Baudelaire

In philosophical inquiry, the human spirit, imitating the movement of the stars, must follow a curve which brings it back to its point of departure. To conclude is to close a circle.

Charles Baudelaire

Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.

Charles Simic

For Emily Dickinson every philosophical idea was a potential lover. Metaphysics is the realm of eternal seduction of the spirit by ideas.

Charles Sanders Peirce

Still, it will sometimes strike a scientific man that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system.

Bill McKibben

Global warming is no longer a philosophical threat, no longer a future threat, no longer a threat at all. It's our reality.

William Shakespeare

Life's uncertain voyage.

William Shakespeare

A great cause of the night is lack of the sun.

Brandon Roy

When I was a kid I dreamed about this. It's an incredible honor to be recognized nationally like this.

Anne Bacon

Tom's work was very important, and the way that we will honor him is to try to continue that work, maybe not for each of us going to Iraq, but we all have the opportunity to create peace in our own community.

Francis Escudero

We respect and honor the decision. But it does not mean we approve of it.

We're going to rename the invitational to honor Pat. I pulled him in front of the crowd and made a speech.

Adam Ereli

What we're seeing here is an attempt to subvert justice, an attempt to subvert the rule of law by those that are bent on attacking honorable citizens of Iraq who are trying to see that justice is done, whether it be on the prosecution side or on the defense side.

Troy Johnson

What they're planning on doing is make people honor him when they run the pick and roll. He can spot up in the corner. He has range out to the three point. He's not going to be a guy who is going to make a living in the post.

Floyd Hall

What a lovely honor it is to have Spirit Airlines dedicate a new plane to our islands. We are most appreciative and wish Spirit Airlines wonderful success.

Pat Leahy

What a great honor it is for all of us - Republicans, Democrats and independents - to serve in this body. Only 100 of us get a chance to do it at any given time. Some day we will be replaced by others. What an honor it is to be here, but what a responsibility.

Alex Anderson
