I don't know who said it, but one of my favorite quotes has always been:
"IF is the most powerful word in the universe"
A few more Zingers:
"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and
the pessimist fears this is true."
- James Branch Cabell
"The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly
free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try
to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head."
- Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its
pants on."
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the
opportunity in every difficulty."
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is
violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.
Let's start with typewriters."
- Frank Lloyd Wright (1868-1959)
"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which
they avoid."
- Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think
about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is
not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
- Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of
thinking we were at when we created them."
- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
" The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
- Alan Kay
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." *** GO JIMI!!! ***
- Jimi Hendrix
"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve
immortality through not dying."
- Woody Allen (1935-)
I kind of like this one below:
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the
black flag, and begin slitting throats."
- Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
and finally:
Insomniac's credo:
"I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead!"
