Chuang-tzu
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
If you're at a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you're eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you're out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, 'Boy, these are good cigars'
Michel de Montaigne
Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.

Roger Zelazny
It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
Ernest Rutheford
Splitting the atom is like trying to shoot a gnat in the Albert Hall at night and using ten million rounds of ammunition on the off chance of getting it. That should convince you that the atom will always be a sink of energy and never a reservoir of energy.
Babe Ruth
I have only one superstition. I touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Total self-esteem requires total and unconditional acceptance of yourself. You are a unique and worthy individual, regardless of your mistakes, defeats and failures, despite what others may think, say or feel about you or your behavior. If you truly accept and love yourself, you won't have a driving need for attention and approval. Self-esteem is a genuine love of self. Stop all adverse value judging of yourself. Stop accepting the adverse value judgments of others. Purge yourself of all condemnation, shame, blame, guilt & remorse.
James Whitcomb Riley
The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.

Button from the Computer Museum, Boston, MA
Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read.
Milan Kundera, Interview on The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
The stupidity of people comes from having an answer to everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything... it seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than to understand, to answer rather than to ask, so that the voice of the novel can hardly be heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
Thomas a Kempis, quoted in the LDS Church News 8/20/2005
