Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.

Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

We never get enough of famous quotes by Shakespeare and I also compiled some which I have recently moved to a brand new website..

But since you came here, this is my favorite Shakespeare quote:

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

From the wikipedia.
William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616)[b] was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist.[13] He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays,[c] 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[14]

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

Karl Marx Quotes and Sayings

2009-02-26T21:01:00.000-08:00

Karl Heinrich Marx was a German[1] philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist and revolutionary credited as the founder of communism.

Marx summarized his approach to history and politics in the opening line of the first chapter of The Communist Manifesto (1848): “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, will produce internal tensions which will lead to its destruction.[2] Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, socialism will in its turn replace capitalism and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism which will emerge after a transitional period, the "dictatorship of the proletariat", a period sometimes referred to as the "workers state" or "workers' democracy"
Some Karl Marx quotes

Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.

The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.

A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of communism.

Religion is the opium of the masses.
