Quotes of the Day

Eric Hoffer

"It is a sign of a creeping inner death when we no longer can praise the living."


Calvin Coolidge

"No man ever listened himself out of a job."


Carl Sagan

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."


George Orwell

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."


Fred Allen

"California is a fine place to live--if you happen to be an orange."
