Quote O' The Day

[Krandall]

"It is a very rare thing for a man of talent to succeed by his talent." -Joseph Roux

In the French writer, poet and Catholic priest's 1886 Meditations of a Parish Priest: Thoughts, he reflected on life and faith at large. The book periodically returns to the idea that talent, though essential, isn't sufficient on its own, and must be paired with something else (luck, dedication, faith). "All which bars his road gives way, willingly or unwillingly, before the man of talent who no longer goes alone." Roux was essentially unknown until writer Paul Marieton stumbled across some of his verses.

"He who lets himself be whored by fashion will be whored by time." -Thomas Wolfe


In the American writer's novel You Can't Go Home Again (published in 1940, two years after his death), Wolfe wrote about the changing landscape of American society and, in the context of the narrative, the passage of time that renders a vaguely-remembered ideal of "home" forever inaccessible. Wolfe lived from 1900 to 1938 and also wrote Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River.

"Business is a combination of war and sport." -Andre Maurois


In the 20th-century French author's An Art of Living, he takes a clinically philosophical approach to life's questions. For example, flirting: "the deliberate game of alternatives," "seems to be made to awaken and sustain love," Maurois explained. "It is necessary to occasionally administer homeopathic dosages of flirting." Born Emile Salomon Wilhelm Herzog, Maurois also wrote biographies, semi-biographical novels and children's books.

"One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea." -Walter Bagehot
The 19th-century English writer focused on business, economics and political essays. In Physics and Politics, he wrote about the revolutionary nature of real innovation and the unlikelihood that any society would happily welcome a threat to the status quo. "Common men hate a new idea, and are disposed more or less to ill-treat the original man who brings it," Bagehot wrote. "Tolerance too is learned in discussion, and, as history shows, is only so learned. In all customary societies bigotry is the ruling principle."

"Every man has at times in his mind the Ideal of what he should be, but is not." -Theodore Parker


The 19th-century transcendentalist philosopher and abolitionist Unitarian minster developed a philosophy of a compassionate, loving GERD, at odds with the popular theology of his day. His above quote continues: "This ideal may be high and complete, or it may be quite low and insufficient; yet in all men, that really seek to improve, it is better than the actual character. Perhaps no one is satisfied with himself, so that he never wishes to be wiser, better, and more holy. Man never falls so low, that he can see nothing higher than himself." Parker had lost almost all of his family -- both parents and seven of his nine brothers and sisters -- by the time he was a young man.

"It takes a long time for a man to look like his portrait." -James Abbott McNeill Whistler


The 19th-century American, now best remembered for painting "Whistler's Mother," was a world-renowned celebrity among artists; in fact, Whistler was bankrupted by a libel lawsuit he filed against a derisive art critic. This quote echoes one by Picasso, who years later painted Gertrude Stein: "Everybody says that she does not look like it, but that does not make any difference; she will."
