| Quote:The function of RAM is to give us guys a way of deciding whose computer has the biggest, studliest, most tumescent MEMORY. This is important, because with today's complex software, the more memory a computer has, the faster it can produce error messages. So the bottom line is, if you're a guy, you cannot have enough RAM.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.[Edmund Burke] Quote:They defend their errors as if they were defending their inheritance.[Edmund Burke] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor.[Adam Smith] Quote:A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:You know what the fellow said: In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love--they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.[Orson Welles] Quote:Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.[Anais Nin] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, givne style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse. [Craig Volk] Quote:An expert is a person who avoids small error as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy. [Niels Bohr] Quote:The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
