Throughout history, people have found comfort, wisdom, inspiration and laughter in the words of their fellow men and women. Quotations have soothed broken hearts, provided much-needed laughs, provoked discussions, and, yes, even galvanized people into changing the course of history. After all, a quote can help rally a nation to war - "Give me liberty or give me death!" It can promote peace - "I have a dream." It can be a call to action -- "Ask not what your country can do for you..."

Maybe you're not looking to change the course of history -- just your perspective. It is through quotations-direct sayings-that you can most easily tap into the dazzling intellect of Albert Einstein, the homespun genius of Mark Twain, the inspired silliness of Steve Martin.

So, travel with us through the words, and the inner worlds, of our famous friends! See what great thinkers have to say about life, love, and this crazy planet we call home. Ponder, laugh, learn ….and enjoy what makes us uniquely human.
