Quotations




 Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said
  Jean Rostand

 Classical quotation is the parole of literary men all over the world.
  Samuel Johnson

 Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests and mines and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language
  Samuel Johnson

 For men are prone to go it blind along the calf-paths of the mind
To do what other men have done. They follow in the beaten track, and out and in, and forth and back, and still their devious course pursue, to keep the path that others do.

 He that tries to recommend (Shakespeare) by select quotations, will succeed like the pedant in "Hierocles", who, when he offered his house to sale, carried a brick in his pocket as a specimen
  Samuel Johnson

  Rudyard Kipling

 I always have a quotation for everything -- it saves original thinking.
  Dorothy L. Sayers

 I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.
  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

 I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.
  Robert Burns

 It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.
  Maurice Chevalier

 Most of the time I quote myself. It's not arrogance, it's a writer's job.

 Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips

 Quotation is the highest compliment you can pay to an author
  Samuel Johnson
