Pep,
Liked your quote on the other thread. I kind of collect them. Here are some of my favorite eclectic ones.
"Always do right. That will gratify some of the people, and astonish the rest." - Mark Twain
"It is agreed, in this country, that if a man can arrange his religion so that it perfectly satisfies his conscience, it is not incumbent on him to care whether the arrangement is satisfactory to anyone else or not." - Mark Twain
Kind of fits with that restructuring of boundaries I was telling Sally about, no?
"We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking." - Mark Twain
"Like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appear clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them." - Franklin
I use that one on here a good bit.
"I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there." - Feynman
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool." - Feynman
"Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth." - Blaise Pascal
"Business is supposed to be service for a profit, at a risk. Often it simply comes down to simple swindling." - ????
Not really any bearing to this board, but I think it is cute.
And one of my absolute FAVORITES...
Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." - Dr. Victor E. Frankl (who survived a German concentration camp)
If there is one that really speaks to me personally, that's it.
