Why Quotations
Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths
that give life perspective and meaning.
- Criswell Freeman
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.
It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
- Mark Twain (attributed)
Examine, inquire.
Look into the nature of things.
Search out the grounds of your opinions,
the for and against.
Know why you believe, understand what you believe,
and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.
- Frances Wright
If you would be a real seeker after truth,
it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt,
as far as possible, all things.
- Rene Descartes
Everything is not as it appears to be.
- Proverb
Quotations are dead unless a spur for inquiry.
The greatest value of quotations is as a source of questions -
to get us thinking about new ideas.
Open minds - open hearts.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
