To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.
I currently use Ubuntu Linux, on a standalone laptop - it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics but I trust my family jewels only to Linux.
Donald Knuth
Virtue is insufficient temptation.
George Bernard Shaw
Getting money is not all a man's business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.
Samuel Johnson

Dee Dee Myers
Behind every successful man is a proud wife and a surprised mother-in-law.
Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.
Steve Jobs
15 minutes a day! Give me just this and I'll prove I can make you a new man.
Charles Atlas
Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity -- an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.
As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking - or lack of thinking.
Thomas Sowell
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Samuel Ullman
The mass of mankind are evidently slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts
Aristotle
For four years, I listened to stories of intelligence failures, and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system, but that the system is so arcane.
Charles F. Bass
For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end.
The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.
Stephen Hawking
Every fool believes what his teachers tell him, and calls his credulity science or morality as confidently as his father called it divine revelation.
The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a master-architect; in execution, the labors of many.
In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.
Alan Watts
Morally, a philosopher who uses his professional competence for anything except a disinterested search for truth is guilty of a kind of treachery
Bertrand Russell
Never answer a question from a farmer.
I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.
Anatole France
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin

The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
Barbara Ehrenreich
The President is the people's lobbyist.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Eileen Caddy
Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.
American public opinion is like an ocean -- it cannot be stirred by a teaspoon.
Early One Morning takes time and, I mean, all things like that I felt were very important.
Anthony Caro
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.
Paulo Coelho
I think the worst thing this nation could do for humanity would be to leave any uncertainty as to our will, our purpose and our capacity to carry out our purpose.
History teaches us that the great revolutions aren't started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better -- and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.
It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we go, and we do the best that we can.
R. Lee Ermey
The darkest night that ever fell upon the earth never hid the light, never put out the stars. It only made the stars more keenly, kindly glancing, as if in protest against the darkness.
George Eliot
The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
T. S. Eliot
Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts -- it's what you do with what you have left.
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
