ABOUT
Quotations for the Public Person

By Judge Robert C. Coates and Robert E. Miner
"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I have studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more."
—Sir Winston Churchill

"Live your life as though your every act were to become universal Law."
—Immanuel Kant

"Without criticism and reliable and intelligent reporting, the government cannot govern."
—Walter Lippmann

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."
​—William Shakespeare (Measure for Measure)
Coates and Miner were fraternity brothers. Both seekers looking for meaning, they began gathering quotations and aphorisms that rang true to them. Together they amassed quite a file and now, five decades later, they have the opportunity to share their magnum opus with you. The quotations cover a wide range of subjects and their authors span from Hammurabi to Yogi Berra.

I think it is required of a man that he should share the passions of his time at the peril of being judged not to have lived.
