Great Quotes
Peter Steiner
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
Casino
Ace When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point And, for a while, I believed that's the kind of love I had.

Communications without intelligence is noise;
Intelligence without communications is irrelevant.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
Laertius Diogenes
When Thales was asked what was difficult, he said, 'To know one's self.' And what was easy, 'To advise another.'
