Quotations
Quote of the Day

When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
View quotes by Henry Miller

View quotes by Jack Nicholson

It takes in reality only one to make a quarrel. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
View quotes by William Ralph Inge

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
View quotes by Pablo Picasso

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
View quotes by Pythagoras

Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.

View quotes by Sir Thomas More

Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
View quotes by Lord Byron
