Lily Tomlin I worry about being called a racist so much that when I do my laundry I refuse to separate the whites from the colors.

Charles Baudelaire Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. Homer Simpson Kids these days.

Kristiina Wilson Judge a man by his questions, not his answers. Voltaire Just a little faster...its not usually this soft. Greg Marmaland Jesus saves sinners... and redeems them for valuable cash prizes John Wichers Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins. Tom Stoppard Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive. Nicolas Malebranche Just as most issues are seldom black or white, so are most good Stephen R. Schwambach solutions seldom black or white. Beware of the solution that requires one side to be totally the loser and the other side to be totally the winner. The reason there are two sides to begin with usually is because neither side has all the facts. Therefore, when the wise mediator effects a compromise, he is not acting from political motivation. Rather, he is acting from a deep sense of respect for the whole truth. Just because I can give multiple orgasms to the furniture by sitting on it... Blackadder IV Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

In God We Trust If homosexuality were natural, God would have created Adam and Bruce. Anita Bryant If it were not for the presents, an elopement would be preferable.

John Jantos If its theme were any more artificially sweet, this movie would be classified a carcinogen. Mr. Cranky If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him.

Richard Milhouse Nixon I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the demigodic party. Dennis Ritchie I am not now, and never have been, a girl friend of Henry Kissinger.

Geneen explanations are explanations, promises are promises - but only performance is reality. It is a very good book, but it was not a book meant to be read.

Bob Allison It is impossible for ideas to compete in the marketplace if no forum for their presentation is provided or available.

Gloria Steinem Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire within ourselves. Nathaniel Branden She left her sex appeal in her diapers.

Kurt Vonnegut Some men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not Henry David Thoreau the fish they are after.

Rita Rudner Mathematics in general is fundamentally the science of self-evident F. Klein things. Mathematics is a logical method ... Mathematical propositions Ludwig Wittgenstein express no thoughts. In life it is never a mathematical proposition which we need, but we use mathematical propositions only in order to infer from propositions which do not belong to mathematics to others which equally do not belong to mathematics. Mathematicians usually present the weirdest case first. Joel Franklin Mathematics has given economics rigor, but alas, also mortis. Robert Heilbroner Mars needs women. Venus needs a swift kick.

An Irish Wish Someone is staring at you in personal growth. When Harry Met Sally Someone whose passion is to get Windows NT installed properly is, Ernest Prabhakar IMHO, much less interesting than one whose passion is to get Windows NT everywhere, which is less interesting than someone whose dream is to turn everyone into a desktop publisher.

Aristotle The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in one is priceless.

The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvellously. Henry Kissinger The Ancient Japanese considered the Go board to be a microcosm of the universe. Although when it is empty it appears to be simple and ordered, in fact, the possibilities of gameplay are endless. They say that no two Go games have ever been alike. Just like snowflakes.

Niklaus Wirth The air is full of farewells to the dying, and mournings for the dead. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper. Thomas Jefferson The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make. Vice President Dan Quayle The algorithm to do that is extremely nasty. You might want to mug M. Devine someone with it. The brain is not an organ of thinking but an organ of survival, like claws and fangs. It is made in such a way as to make us accept as truth that which is only advantage.

Owen Gleiberman The biggest things are always the easiest to do because there is no competition. William Van Horne The birth of an idea is that happy moment when everything appears Rudolph Diesel possible and reality has not yet entered into the problem. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and for Harriet Beecher Stowe deeds left undone. The chief danger in life is that you may take too may precautions. Alfred Adler The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain Joseph Addison esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, and good breeding. The church is only a secular institution in which the half-educated speak to the half-converted. W.R. Inge The bug stops here. Harry S Truman The broken network is the broken computer. Mike Wiese The business of life is to go forward. Samuel Johnson The brick the student Dave Nicol failed threw was hard. John Klassa The brain that processes these words as you read them is NOT the one you were born with. Steven Jay Gould The bug is mightier than the fix. Cyrano de Bergerac The beverage. Icee, bro. This is what put this place on the map. Encino Man The bigger they come the harder they fall. Robert Prometheus Fitzsimmons Sweetness is a trait men develop to strip women of their clothing.

All men Ralph Waldo Emerson have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity.

Muriel Rukeyser The unexamined life is worth nothing. Plato The usual correlation between abundance of attitude and lack of clue applies here too. Robert Harley The USS Reagan To boldly ... um ... I forget... The unfortunate thing about this world is that good habits are so much easier to give up than bad ones. William Somerset Maugham The ultimate consequence of protecting men from the results of their own folly is to fill the world with fools. Herbert Spencer The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. MLK The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian doctrine. George Washington The U.S. victory in Gulf war was a stirring victory for the forces of aggression. Vice President Dan Quayle The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival. Aristotle The Unicode Standard is a large, painful book, suitable for use as a blunt object, possibly as a seventh weapon in the game of Clue. It could play a telephone book in a movie if it were painted yellow and made more exciting. It could hold up a table if one leg were several inches short and in need of the sort of support that only a standard can provide. Tim Showalter The United States has much to offer the third world war. Ronald Reagan The verdict of a jury is the a priori opinion of that juror who smokes H.L. Mencken the worst cigars. The wise learn many things from their enemies. Aristophanes The urge to destroy is also a creative urge. Bakunin The US condones violence in El Salvador. Vice President Dan Quayle The worst offense is intelligence. The best defense is belligerence. Quality of Armor The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank. Dante Gabriel Rossetti The worst part is that she possessed many of the qualities also desired by superficial man. Seinfeld The US Postal Service has announced a new James Dean commemorative stamp. The stamp will be available beginning this week, or whenever the hell it feels like it. Dennis Miller The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges Sir Peter Medawar and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the world put together. The vast array of better things I have to do than entertain your sorry Martin Frankel self is quite possibly beyond your imagination. The vanishing dot on the map of the spot, let me take you there. The They Might Be Giants dotted line surrounding the mind of a self called nowhere. The universe is simultaneously elegantly simple and profoundly complicated. Adam Rifkin The unlived life is not worth examining. John Dobbin The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. Carl Sagan The United States is like the guy at the party who gives cocaine to everybody and still nobody likes him. Jim Samuels The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits Eden Phillpotts to grow sharper. The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell The whole point of this sentence is to make clear what the whole point of this sentence is. Douglas R Hofstadter The winners never remember and the losers never forget. Everett Dirksen The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. Edward Gibbon The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice. Mark Twain The volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcases. Jerry Brown The virgin kleenex tissue is difficult to coax, but once snared is quickly used and discarded. Thereafter, each tissue is always aroused and aflutter, eagerly awaiting the next juicy spillage. Celeste Copland The weather was foul, or perhaps, duck. Spike Milligan The weak and cowardly have no place in shuffleboard. Phil Hartman The universe does not have laws it has habits, and habits can be broken. The Universe is just one of those things that happens from time to time. Alan Guth The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination. But the combination is locked up in the safe. Peter DeVries The weakness of democracies is that once a general has been built up in public opinion it becomes impossible to remove him. Edouard Daladier The weather here is more interesting than the people. Jennifer Jantos The way to find what the mainstream will do tomorrow is to associate with the lunatic fringe today. Jean-Louis Gassee The way to deal with bureaucrats is with stealth and sudden violence. UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali The way to make money is to start your own religion. L. Ron Hubbard The weather is here, wish you were beautiful. Jimmy Buffet The way we treat the planet anyone would think we owned it. Roger McGough The world can come to us in Fragments, but the fragments themselves are not the enemy. If your pattern is strong enough, the fragments will form a whole. Batik wall hanging The words are still hanging in the air... you know, like a balloon attached to her mouth... When Harry Met Sally The world is a sick machine. Green Day The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel. Horace Walpole The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. General Omar Bradley The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female is the slave of that slave. James Connolly The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the Ernest Hemingway broken places. But those that it will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but that there will be no special hurry. Theatre is Art, Film is Entertainment, Television Is Furniture. Peter Green Their Christmas card is a copy of their pre-nuptial agreement. David Letterman The world owes you nothing. It was here first. Mark Twain The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man confines himself within ancient limits. Nathaniel Hawthorne The world belongs to the energetic. Ralph Waldo Emerson The world begins to disappear. The worst things come from inside here. And all the kingsmen reappear for an eggman, falling off for what will never be together again. Counting Crows The woes of Software Engineering are not due to lack of tools, nor Niklaus Wirth of proper management, but largely due to lack of sufficient technical competence. A good designer needs to rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking, on pedantic exactness. No magic will do. The woman of my dreams knows how to break into systems. Doug Tygar The world is my oyster. Frankie Goes to Hollywood The world is not run by thought, nor imagination, but by opinion. Elizabeth Drew The world needs ditch diggers too. Judge Smeals The world needs people with leadership and compassion to help end Frank Reed Horton universal human suffering. The wisest mind has something yet to learn. George Santayana The woes of software engineering are not due to lack of tools or proper management, but largely due to lack of sufficient technical competence. Niklaus Wirth The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. Grace Murray Hopper The world is a very cool place. Miller Brewing Co. Theatre is a sweet craziness. Once you return home, you are a little bit smarter. Tony Montenaro The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak. Baruch Spinoza The World Record holder for blowing a bugle whilst riding a bike uphill dragging four hundredweight of pig iron and holding his breath is buried at... Spike Milligan The world revolves around the sun, not your head. Copernicus The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles. But I had on thick tights underneath. Naomi Campbell The wrong way always seems more reasonable. George Moore The worm has turned for Monty Burns. Fate has pressed me to her scented bosom. Monty Burns The world we live in is a result of human choices and, it can be changed by making better, wiser choices. Robert Redford The world will little note nor long remember what we say here. Abraham Lincoln The years teach much which the days never know. Ralph Waldo Emerson Their own government intervenes aggresively in the economy Guy Molyneux toblock real-wage growth - thereby effectively guaranteeing that the benefits of greater productivity flow only to capital, never to labor. The young man knows the rules but the old man knows the exceptions. Oliver Wendell Holmes Then somebody spoke, and I went into a dream... The Beatles The very-good is the enemy of the great. Rohit Khare There are lots of women around. Take my wife. Please. Henny Youngman There are no good girls gone wrong, just bad girls found out. Mae West There are more gadgets available to substitute for a little common Michelle D. Hudson sense than have any right to exist. There are more old drunks than there are old doctors, so I guess we better have another round. Willie Nelson There are no bright sides in the FoRK universe, just the temporary absence of darkness. Rohit Khare There are lots of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing. Real Genius There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Benjamin Disraeli quoting Mark Twain There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers what the Douglas Adams Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism Rush Limbaugh and self-reliance - which made America great. There is a dream dreaming us. Kung Bushman saying There is a God. Rush Limbaugh There is a limit to the practical application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens. Leon Trotsky There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has the right to blame us. Oscar Wilde There is a problem in that gcc checks things and gives warnings and Robert Harley complains when cc would happily compile code full of bugs that the author, Mr Name Withheld, probably never knew about. There is a very fine line between good manners and kissing butt. Bill Maher There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Hamlet There are definitely people with whom I have e-mail contact whom Megan Coughlin I would not generally choose to contact sexually.... There are these horrible Noisy Boys working in the pod kitty-corner Megan Coughlin to mine, and I was going through batteries on my walkman at the rate of about two a day. There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them. Heisenberg There are some very large people around America today. Gardner Patrick There are still places where people think that the function of the media is to provide information. Don Rottenberg There are few good women who do not tire of their role. La Rochefoucauld There are far too many dead Seattle musicians. Michelle Morrell There has been opposition to every innovation in the history of man, with the possible exception of the sword. Benjamin Dana There are way too many women fighting over a troll. Howard Stern There are two ways to tell a sexy male. The first is that he has a bad Bruce Sherrod memory. I forget the second. There goes the last lingering threat of my heterosexuality. Patty and Selma There comes a time when a man must face up to realities and confront them. Fortunately, this is not such a time. Will Sherman There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full. Henry Kissinger There can never be surprises in logic. Ludwig Wittgenstein The way it happens is that it happens and then you talk about it, rather than talking about it and then trying to make it happen. Eric Clapton The way of the portable computer user is as a stony path strewn with plugs and sockets, all the wrong size... Terry Pratchett The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Dolly Parton The victor will never be asked if he told the truth. Adolf Hitler The way I lost weight ... was to be unemployed and deeply depressed, sleep through breakfast and lunch, and have very little money to buy dinner. Will power was not an issue. Jonathan Elgart The way a man wins shows much of his character, and the way he loses shows all of it. Knute Rockne There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, and not as many separate ones. Anwar al-Sadat Theories are more like graduate students - once admitted you try hard to avoid flunking them out, it being much better for them and for the world if they can become long term contributors to society. Allen Newell The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood. Alexander Haig The want of a thing is perplexing enough, but the possession of it is John Vanbrugh intolerable. There is always something to be learned in life... and usually in school. Megan Coughlin There is an explanation for Attila. For Haman. For Cortez. For Cesare Borgia. For Christie and Speck and Manson, and Nixon ... and Torquemada. But only the Nemotropin know the explanation, and they smile as best they can with bloody mandibles. N is for Nemotropin There is a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. Edwin Markham There is a differerence between being different and being new, a difference between questioning social customs and just being rude, a difference between being daring and simply breaking rules. Most people do not understand this difference. It makes them easy to tell them apart. Jessica Marrell There is an astonishing imagination, even in the science of mathematics... We repeat, there was far more imagination in the head of Archimedes than in that of Homer. Voltaire There is evil ever around, fundamental. Eva Duarte de Peron There is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror. William Somerset Maugham There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum. Arthur C. Clarke There is less to this than meets the eye. Tallulah Bankhead There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of Ray Bradbury people running about with lit matches. There is little sense in worrying about winds and storms, for these William Wallace things come and go of there own accord. Worry instead about your ship and crew, your supplies and sails, for over them alone have you command. Always remember that hard work is the hull of your ship, and careful planning the rigging that supports your sails. Curse not the Gods when your hopes and dreams seem certain to be crushed upon the rocks of reality. For it was you alone who charted the course, and you alone who must keep your dreams afloat. There is more difference within the sexes, than between them. Ivy Compton-Burnett There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The Woody Allen good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more. The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce and gives it some of the grace of tragedy. Steven Weinberg The environment is in trouble, and the worse it gets, the harder it is on your skin. Seventeen The English certainly and fiercely pride themselves in never praising themselves. Wyndham Lewis The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. G.B. Shaw The entire humor of which involves three twerps being played by two people. Blackadder IV The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value. Charles Dudley Warner The entire software industry runs on coffee just as much as it runs Dan Sorenson on electricity. The employer generally gets the employees he deserves. Walter Bilbey The end of the human race is that it will eventually die of civilization. Ralph Waldo Emerson The fact that it works is immaterial. L. Ogborn The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. Henri Bergson The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part.

Heathers The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun. R. Buckminster Fuller The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses... behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. Muhammad Ali The English language is not sufficently expressive to convey how badly I needed to know that, Mark. Martin Frankel The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbors, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. Voltaire The intelligence of any discussion diminishes with the square of the Adam Walinsky number of participants. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on. Ursula K. Le Guin The human race has had long experience in surviving adversity. But Alan Gregg we now face the task of surviving prosperity. The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate Rachel Carson our mastery, not over nature but of ourselves. The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. Mark Twain The idea is, you memorize these things, then write them down in little exam books, then forget them. If you fail to forget them, you become a professor and have to stay in college for the rest of your life. Dave Barry The idea is to die young as late as possible. Ashley Montague The interference of logic and real life can lead to disastrous consequences. Stick to one of them...

Will Rogers The inappropriate cannot be beautiful. Frank Lloyd Wright The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great. Voltaire The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell. Simone Weil The infinite monkeys tried to pull a fast one on the public by producing two nearly identical productions of dichotomal quality. Adam Rifkin The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr. Brain is gone. Blackadder II The fundamental idea of modern capitalism is not the right of the individual to possess and enjoy what he has earned, but the thesis that the exercise of this right redounds to the general good. Ralph Barton Perry The future is littered with prizes. The Lion King The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives. Native American proverb The future belongs to charismatic communicators who are technically competent. Patricia Fripp The future belongs to the future itself. Debbie Gibson The future holds nothing else but confrontation. Public Enemy The film was so utterly boring that it actually made me pray to God Mr. Cranky that Chris Farley would emerge from somewhere and smack into something at a full run. The future is now. Hudsucker Proxy The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt The goddamn cat never bit you. That was me. Michelle Hall The Genie can smell fear. Tom Price The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut Jamal Abdul Nasser stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make the rest of us wonder at the possibility that we might be missing something. The glory of a man is knowledge, but the glory of a woman is to renounce knowledge. Chinese Proverb The Golden Rule is of no use to you whatever unless you realize it is your move. Frank Crane The goal should be to stop people from abusing the system, not to abuse people with the system. Steve Baum The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him. Russell Baker The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell. St. Augustine The direct use of force is so poor a solution to the problems of limited resources that it is commonly employed only by small children and great nations. David Friedman The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in determination. Tommy Lasorda The distrust of wit is the beginning of tyranny. Edward Abbey The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment. Warren Bennis The doctors told me I had dain bramage. Bob Nelson The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. Woody Allen The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that Robert Heinlein science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship. The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one. Joan Baez The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any. Katharine Whitehorn The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need to mix Trainspotting with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them. The dreamers are the ones who conceive of what could happen and the scientists are the ones who make it happen. The best of humanity are those who combine both traits. Peter David The early bird who catches the worm works for someone who comes in late and owns the worm farm. Travis McGee The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present... Abraham Lincoln As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. The difference between Rush Limbaugh and The Hindenburg is that Doonesbury one is a flaming Nazi gasbag, and one was a dirigible. The difference between MS Windows and a pet rock is the cost of upgrades. Pyotr Filipivich The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. Mark Twain The difference between truth and fiction is that fiction has to make sense. Mark Twain The idea of calm exists in a sitting cat. Jules Renard The great masses of the people . . . will more easily fall victims to a Adolf Hitler great lie than to a small one. The good news is that opportunity abounds for anybody and everybody with half a brain. A complete brain is not even required for success anymore. Only a half-baked plan and the determination to see the plan through. Mike Causey The graveyards are full of indispensable men. Charles de Gaulle The great majority of artists are throwing themselves in with lifepreservers around their necks, nd more often than not it is the lifepreserver which sinks them. Henry Miller The good thing about Vietnam was that there was always someplace to go, and there was always something to do. Forrest Gump The Greys are supposedly space aliens who are taking over the planet. I surmised that the Greys got you when your X died. Robert Harley The greatest problem of communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished. George Bernard Shaw The greatest right in the world is the right to be wrong. Harry Weinberger The guy just wanted a kiss, not the story of O. The Opposite Sex The groundwork to all happiness is health. Leigh Hunt The gulf between knowledge and truth is infinite. Henry Miller The greatness of a man can nearly always be measured by his willingness to be kind. G. Young The gothic fad had been done to death. Black clothing is now a bad joke. Vampires are overrated. Dark, ominous doom music is depressing by definition. And Anne Rice is a hack. The novelty is gone. Lighten up, people. Chester G. Edwards The Government that Governs Least, Governs Best. Thomas Jefferson The government has been satirized for your protection. Bill Maher The great thing about multitasking is that several things can go wrong at once. Andrew B. Sweger The Government is the only institution that can take a valuable commodity like paper, and make it worthless by applying ink. Ludwig van Moses The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. Vince Lombardi The heart is a free and fetterless thing - a wave of the ocean, a bird on the wing. Julia Pardoe The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which David Russell to burn. The hardest thing about time travel is the grammar. Douglas Adams The world is collapsing around our ears. I turned up the radio, I can REM hear it. The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is. Charles M. Schwab The guy was so worthless than he could have been replaced by two flashing lights and a non-functional switch. Steve Thiedke The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. Gary F. Hevel The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

Felix Adler The Human Body is a wonderful thing, and it deserves a decentsized suitcase. Dr. Fegg The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his passion for H. Allen Smith lists of Ten Best. The Handicapped Extrotion Gang... I like that anomie... Rohit Khare The Halting Problem is Ctrl-C decidable. Stephan Missura The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence. Dennis Waitley The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things. Jim Rohn The language and concepts contained herein are guaranteed not to Frank Zappa cause eternal torment in the place where the guy with the horns and pointed stick conducts his business. The kind of people we liked to fight were two feet tall and armed with grass. Blackadder IV The key to this business is personal relationships. Fewer clients, less money. Jerry Maguire The key to being top banana is to never lose touch with the bunch. Kreegah The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer. Henry Kissinger The idea of naked women and computers combined really turns me on. John Dobbin The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. Henry Kissinger The Ides of March have come. Julius Caesar The key to eating a black and white cookie, Elaine, is you want to Seinfeld get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate. And yet, still, somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie. All our problems would be solved. The key to finding something is to look where it is. Tigger The key to good communication is brevity. Boston Common The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. Arnold H. Glasow The job of a citizen is to keep his mouth open. Gunther Grass The greatest homage to truth is to use it. Ralph Waldo Emerson The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before Genghis Khan you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters. The great tragedy of Science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. Thomas Henry Huxley The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it Elizabeth Hardwick distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. Benjamin Disraeli The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions and not on our circumstances. Martha Washington The greatest happiness comes from the greatest activity. Bovel The greatest invention in my lifetime was the Big Gulp. Reality Bites The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. Winston Churchill The job of the poet is to render the world--to see it and report it without loss, without perversion. No poet ever talks about feelings. Only sentimental people do. Mark Van Doren The joke about the Computer Scientist, the Frog, and the Princess is Titus Brown personally relevant to me. Stay Away. The introspections of conscience help make us human and keep us Anitra L. Freeman decent. Ironically, those who need such introspection the most have the least of it. The journey toward home is not so much finding someone to love us as discovering how to love ourselves. Dinah Eng The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Lao-Tsze The journey of a thousand leagues begins from beneath your feet. Lao Tzu the internet is the trailer park for the soul Marilyn Manson To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable. Aaron Copland Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. Abe Lincoln This spoon is carefully balanced for throwing. Geoff Spear This story does NOT contain a naked teenage nympho skydiver having midair relations with her six instructors and then landing, still naked, in a cucumber patch. Sorry, folks. Dawson Rambo This struct already has a perfectly good definition. Apple MPW C compiler error message This suffering will yield us yet a pleasant tale to tell. Virgil This should not be interpreted as an official response of any sort. Never mind who I am. Dan Lovinger Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. Dave Barry Time is a great teacher, unfortuneatly it kills all its pupils. Hector Berlioz Time keeps everything from happening at once. Buckaroo Banzai Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to Schopenhauer think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees. Thus, we can go through the entire movie pretty sure that Forrest Gump and Good Will Hunting are going to run into each other at some point and discuss the finer points of advanced math or chocolates or war morality. Mr. Cranky Time has a wonderful way of weeding out the trivial. Richard Ben Sapir Time as he grows old teaches all things. Aeschylus Those who call the shots are never in the line of fire. Ani Difranco Those who can do. Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being Plato governed by those who are dumber. This useless tidbit thanks to an increasing obsession with reading Newsweek cover-to-cover each week. Sam Kass This race is as tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride back from the beach. Dan Rather Those who are the most moral are the farthest from the problem. Anthony Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled. William Blake Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse. Adlai Stevenson Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana Those visiting the House of Unix are not in for a treat. They are visitors to a U.N. relief mission in the third world, not to Disneyland. Unix-Haters Handbook This president is going to lead us out of this recovery. It will happen. Vice President Dan Quayle This thing with Kurt Cobain has gotten so bad, even the suicide prevention people are considering ending it all. Howard Stern This Universe must not fail. Sir Oliver Lodge This principle is so perfectly general that no particular application of it is possible. George Polya This process can check if this value is zero, and if it is, it does something child-like. Forbes Burkowski This parrot is bleeding demised. It is an ex-parrot John Cleese This page is intentionally left blank. IBM This only grant me, that my means may lie too low for envy, for contempt too high. Abraham Cowley Time travel gives me nosebleeds. LaForge Though he soured the milk of human kindness, all is forgiven. Jellyfish Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower. William Wordsworth Thousands of years ago the Egyptians worshiped cats as gods. Cats have never forgotten this. Charles Herbig Thought takes man out of servitude into freedom. Ralph Waldo Emerson Through the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way comes. Ray Bradbury Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. Benjamin Franklin Three books... Wait a minute. Nobody said anything about three books. Army of Darkness Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. Ralph Waldo Emerson This flick hits you like a naked senior citizen giving out raisins. Baked Potatoes This guy would go home with a gardening tool if it showed interest. Jerry Maguire This film was so painfully bad, I needed an epidural half way through it. Dennis Miller on Swing Kids This goes beyond the limits of good taste. Beavis This one is an ANSI standard fuse blower. Steven Hawthorne Three Fatty Acid Radicals would be an excellent name for a rock band. Dave Barry Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Douglas Adams Time is running out. We must both do something monstrous before we die. Hunter S. Thompson to Ralph Steadman Time is infinitely long and each day is a vessel into which a great deal may be poured, if one will actually fill it up. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Time to put on some excessive force. Vijay Gill Time to stop writing specification documents and start executing. We will execute until everyone is dead. Thank you, drive through. Faisal Jawdat Time the destroyer is Time the preserver. T.S. Elliot Time to die... Roy Batty Those who do not understand Henry Spencer are doomed to quote him. John F. Haugh II Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. Edgar Allen Poe Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Thomas Paine Those who give up a little freedom for a little security, deserve neither freedom, nor security. Benjamin Franklin Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness. Dorothy Parker Those who enjoy the train, and those who do not enjoy the train, get John-Roger Peter to the same destination at the same time. McWilliams Those who worked the hardest are the last to surrender. Gary Ward Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. John F. Kennedy Thou hast seen nothing yet. Miguel de Cervantes Those who live are those who fight. Victor Hugo There is no idea so good that everyone benefits.

Darth Vader There is no defense like a good offense. Real Genius There is no CyberSpace, just a lot of people pretending. Sam Kass There is no benefit in the gifts of a bad man. Euripides There is No God but Sendmail and SMTP is Its Prophet Hugh Young There is no better way to exercise the imagination than the study of the law. No artist ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth. Jean Giradoux There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come. Everett Dirkson There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Mark Twain Congress. There is nothing wrong with sobriety in moderation. John Ciardi There is no difference between Time and any of the three H. G. Wells dimensions of Space, except that our consciousness moves along it. There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. Francis Bacon There is no frigate like a book. Emily Dickinson There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking. Sir Joshua Reynolds There is no passion like that of a functionary for his function.
