GREAT QUOTES / 21

Here is another installment of "GREAT QUOTES" that I have gleaned from the internet. I hope that you can find inspiration or something from them. They all struck a cord with me. Use them as you see fit. Spread them around...........Thanks............PEACE.................Scott



"The time is always right to do what is right" - Martin Luther King, Jr.


I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War
IV will be fought with sticks and stones. - Albert Einstein


"The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was." - Walt West


Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on
people. - W. C. Fields


The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. - Ralph Waldo
Emerson


No man is an island entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me
because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for
whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee - John Donne


I heard the song Of the world's last whale
As I rocked in the moonlight
And reefed the sail.
It'll happen to you
Also without fail
If it happens to me
Sang the world's last whale.

- Pete Seeger, born in 1919


You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you
understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send
signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that
there is no cat. - Albert Einstein


Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no
account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams


I fired [General MacArthur] because he wouldn't respect the authority of
the President. That's the answer to that. I didn't fire him because he
was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the
law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in
jail - Harry S Truman


A wonderful time - the War:
when money rolled in and blood rolled out.
But blood was far away from here--
Money was near.

- Langston Hughes


"Being an American can no longer be a spectator sport." - Submitted by John Russo, member of IBEW Local Union 102.
