New batch of quotes
I do love quotes. When they are especially good, you get an entire novel in a sentence. Here are some that I've enjoyed over the past two months: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now." Chinese Proverb "If you cannot convince them, confuse them." Harry Truman “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in a confederacy against him.” Jonathan Swift "I think the world is run by 'C' students." Al McGuire "The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced." Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993) "An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously." Charles F. Kettering (1876 - 1958) "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." B. F. Skinner (1904 - 1990), New Scientist, May 21, 1964 "The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself. Prove that you can control yourself, and you are an educated man; and without this all other education is good for nothing." R. D. Hitchcock "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That is, in essence, fascism is ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling power. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt "A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking." Jerry Seinfeld (1954 - ) [More . . . ]
