More Famous Quotations
Maurice Wilkes
As soon as we started programming, we found out to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Burmese Proverb
Beware of a man's shadow and a bee's sting.
William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II Scene 6
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.
Agnes Repplier
Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.
Oscar Wilde
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
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.
George Orwell, 1984
Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad.
Casey Stengel
I was not successful as a ballplayer, as it was a game of skill.
Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary"
Human speech is a cracked cauldron on which we knock out tunes for dancing bears, when we wish to conjure pity from the stars.
Tony Bennet
I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.
Edmund Burke
Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.
