Quotes for Today
Computer Museum
Usenet isn't a right. It's a right, a left, and a swift uppercut to the jaw.
William Shakespeare
The attempt and not the deed Confounds us.
Jeff Melvoin
You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
George Orwell
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.

Great Quotations
Farmers' Almanac
To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
Dr. David M. Burns
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
Ernest Thompson Seton
Have the wild things no moral or legal rights? What right has man to inflict such long and fearful agony on a fellow creature, simply because that creature does not speak his language?
John Larroquette
Be careful out there. There are things that go bump in the night. Actually, there are things that go 'Give me your wallet or I'll kill you' in the night.
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776
All for ourselves and nothing for other people seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.
Judge Learned Hand, Address "A Fanfare for Prometheus", January 29,1955
Nor need we be surprised that men so often embrace almost any doctrines, if they are proclaimed with a voice of absolute assurance.

Famous Quotes Update
George Carlin
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
Ernest Haskins
Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you'll be surprised at how little you have.
Epictetus
The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
There are people who think that everything one does with a serious face is sensible.
Fred Allen
Committee--a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done.
Charles Dickens, A Tale Of Two Cities
It is a far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If eyes were made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being.
Laurence J. Peter
You can always tell a real friend when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
John Calvin
For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress.
Lisa Hoffman
Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important.
Margaret Cho, weblog, 01-27-04
Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.
