Famous Quotes

Hi there!!

As I promised, I am posting the quotes most of you read in class.

Lívia brought these two. She haven't got the chance to tell you them, but they are really good, both by Charles Chaplin:
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles."
"To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it."
Chaplin is a milestone in movie industry for developing comedy in a very singular way.

Mahatma Ghandi was Lucas Guinancio's choice: "Don't have a way for happines. Happiness is the way." A good choice by the way!

Bruno Ritter found two quotes by two outstanding politicians. The first is Sir Winston Churchill: "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results." As the British Prime Minister and a soldier of the British army himself, Sir Churchill used his oratory skills to support those who were fighting in the II World War.
The other is Benjamin Franklin: "A countryman between lawyers is like a fish between two cats." Frankling is one of the most important presidents the US has ever had for his fight for the people and the abolition of slavery.

Alan found many interesting quotes by Einstein and Nietzsche.
The former, in my opinion, is one of the most brilliant minds ever. And he said...
"I never teach pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn."
"I never think of the future - it comes soon enough."
"If you are out to describe the truth, leave the elegance to the tailor."
"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
The latter is considered one of the first people who attempted to fight prejudice, though his philosophical writings. His first sentences defines very well what he thinks about humankind:
"Man is the cruelest animal."
And he goes on... "No price is too high to pay for the priviledge of owning yourself."
"One must have a good memory to be able to keep the premises one makes."
"The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time."
"In heaven all the interesting people are missing."

Now I'll be waiting for your posts!!
