Results from Classic Quotes:

The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), Amherst College, Oct 26, 1963 - Source JFK Library, Boston, Mass.
When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others. It is much more nearly certain that we are assembled here tonight than it is that this or that political party is in the right. Certainly there are degrees of certainty, and one should be very careful to emphasize that fact, because otherwise one is landed in an utter skepticism, and complete skepticism would, of course, be totally barren and completely useless.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), "Am I An Atheist Or An Agnostic?", 1947
Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to.: Joe Gores

Have you ever noticed that there are people who do things which are most indelicate, and yet at the same time - beautiful?: E. M. Forster (1879 - 1970), "A Room with a View"
Depend upon it, after all, Thomas, Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path.: Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849), From a letter to Frederick W. Thomas (February 14, 1849).
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.: Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991), The Lorax

The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), Walden, Chapter 1: Economy
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.: Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)
- More quotations on: [Writing]
You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.: Anne Lamott
