The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules. ~Elting E. Morison



The sky is that beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon keep their diary. ~Alfred Kreymborg



Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve. ~Erich Fromm, Man for Himself, 1947



Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick



The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummings



I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o'clock in the morning. ~John Barrymore



We can in fact only define a weed, mutatis mutandis, in terms of the well-known definition of dirt - as matter out of place. What we call a weed is in fact merely a plant growing where we do not want it. ~E.J. Salisbury, The Living Garden, 1935



Your soul is all that you possess. Take it in hand and make something of it! ~Martin H. Fischer



We always carry out by committee anything in which any one of us alone would be too reasonable to persist. ~Frank Moore Colby



I suspect we have internal senses. The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial; and we have also a mind's ear. To say nothing of dreams, one certainly can listen to one's own thoughts, and hear them, or believe that one hears them: the strongest argument adducible in favour of our hearing any thing. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827



The theory of probabilities is at bottom nothing but common sense reduced to calculus. ~Laplace, Theorie analytique des probabilites, 1820

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ~Thomas Haynes Bayly, Isle of Beauty



Last night, there came a frost, which has done great damage to my garden.... It is sad that Nature will play such tricks on us poor mortals, inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her, and then, when we are entirely within her power, striking us to the heart. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The American Notebooks



A man gives many question marks, however, a woman is a whole mystery. ~Diana Sturm



We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with. ~D.H. Lawrence



The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.... The computer resembles the magic of legend in this respect, too. If one character, one pause, of the incantation is not strictly in proper form, the magic doesn't work. Human beings are not accustomed to being perfect, and few areas of human activity demand it. Adjusting to the requirement for perfection is, I think, the most difficult part of learning to program. ~Frederick Brooks



Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. ~Mark Twain
