John Podhoretz

He who awaits much can expect little.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little - or not at all in some cases - should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written. Can I be blunt on this subject? If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time - or the tools - to write. Simple as that.

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.

Maurice Wilkes

Courage is action, not talk.

Jeff Rich

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

Martin Luther King Jr.

If you are not very clever, you should be conciliatory.

Benjamin Disraeli

Death is not extinguishing the light it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

Rabindranath Tagore
