More to come! Drop me a note to let me know what other topics you'd like covered with quotes. I also do quote searches, using the net, my personal quote data-base and my collection of 100s of quote books and 1000s of reference source books. | My Favorite Quotations People often ask what my favorite is. There are so many I like, but here are a few I use often and keep coming back to. I know they're not short, but then again, I said quotations, not epigrams. <g> - "A man is like a bit of Labrador spar, which has no lustre as you turn it in your hand until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors. There is no adaptation or universal applicability in men, but each has his special Talent, and the mastery of Successful men consists in adroitly keeping themselves where and when that turn shall be oftenest to be practiced."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* - "The movements of exaltation which belong to genius are egotistic by their very nature. A calm, clear mind, not subject to the spasms and crises which are so often met with in creative or intensely perceptive natures, is the best basis for love or friendship. --Observe, I am talking about minds. I won't say, the more intellect, the less capacity for loving; for that would do wrong to the understanding and reason;-- but on the other hand, that the brain runs away with the heart's best blood, which gives the world a few pages of wisdom or sentiment or poetry, instead of making one other heart happy, I have no question."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes Senior, THE AUTOCRAT OF THE BREAKFAST TABLE
