I get a quote a day on subscription. They're usually pretty average, but once in a while there are some good ones. Such as:

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

  • Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, and author (1872-1970)

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
-Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President (1809-1865)

Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only ONE day, of modern warfare.
-Peter Ustinov, actor, writer and director (1921-2004)

Home is not where you live but where they understand you.
-Christion Morgenstern, writer (1871-1914)

… and one for us…

Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
-Henrik Ibsen, playwright (1828-1906)
