Thread: Famous quotes from history

I very much like quotes from famous people throughout history. Some leave lasting impressions on me and become words to live by. There are too many to list but here is a start.

"It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read." Thomas Jefferson

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”
- C.S. Lewis.

Here are a couple of my fav's:

Life is made up of 5% protons, 5% neutrons, 5% electrons, and 85% morons. -Frank Zappa

Duty, then, is the sublimest word in the English language.
