Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.  (1841 - 1935) American Associate Justice, Supreme Court

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

If you love quotations as much as I do then you may wish to register to have a quote e-mailed to you once a week or more frequently by clicking on the button below and completing the form.


You can also subscribe to an RSS feed RSS Feed Gurteen Daily Knowledge Quotes that will deliver a quote to your newsreader each day. Or you can follow GurteenQuotes on Twitter and receive a quote there each day.


Quotations from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.:

 A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging. It is the skin of living thought.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. , (1841 - 1935) American Associate Justice, Supreme Court



 Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. , (1841 - 1935) American Associate Justice, Supreme Court



 I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving -- we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. , (1841 - 1935) American Associate Justice, Supreme Court
