A few things running around my head.
Jun. 4th, 2005 11:01 amWas going through some of my old files for something to do (that i'm actually capable of doing); and a few jumped out at me as applying to several persons of my aquaintance. It'll probably be obvious who they apply to. Some may apply to more than one, some may not be recognized by the individuals they apply to. And not all are intended as criticism, some are meant as positive comment.
"Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength" -- Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
"Our patience will achieve more than our force." -- Edmund Burke
"I simply can't imagine competence as anything save admirable, for it is very rare in this world, and especially in this great Republic; and those who have it in some measure, in any art or craft from adultery to zoology, are the only human beings I can think of who will be worth the oil it will take to fry them in Hell" -- H.L. Mencken
"If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion." -- Robert Heinlein
"If you really want positive attention from people, be a positive person." -- Ann Koi
"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." -- Abraham Lincoln
"You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man's freedom. You can be free only if I am free." -- Clarence Darrow
"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." -- John Stuart Mill On Liberty
"The best defence against logic is ignorance." --Kung Chi'u (Confucious) Lun Yu
"The superior man is not one who does where other's can't; but one who will try where others won't." -- HH EHL SW GAC
