I periodically publish quotes I have collected. Here is the latest batch (and here is my entire collection). Not particular topic this time:

“A boat is safe in the harbor. But this is not the purpose of a boat.”

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

America’s “culture of death”: “a culture that embraces a soulless free-market idolatry in which the value of everything, including human beings, is determined by the bottom line. … It is a culture of death that prevails on Wall Street, K-Street, Hollywood, and our ever expanding Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex.”
Rich Broderick, journalist who writes for the online Twin Cities Daily Planet

“I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.”
Frederick Douglass

“What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.”

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Voltaire.

If a thing isn’t worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais (1732 – 1799)

Someecards (on Facebook)
