“A good rule of thumb is if you’ve made it to thirty-five
and your job still requires you to wear a name tag, you’ve
made a serious vocational error.”

–Dennis Miller

“We are not retreating – we are advancing in another
Direction.”

General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)

“Some people, even in my own country, look at the riot of
experiment that is the free market and see only waste. What of
all the entrepreneurs that fail? Well, many do, particularly
the successful ones; often several times. And if you ask them
the secret of their success, they’ll tell you it’s all that
they learned in their struggles along the way; yes, it’s what
they learned from failing. Like an athlete in competition or
a scholar in pursuit of the truth, experience is the greatest
teacher. And that’s why it’s so hard for government planners,
no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitute for millions
of individuals working night and day to make their dreams come
true.”
–Ronald Reagan

“Programming today is a race between software engineers
striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs,
and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.”
-Rich Cook

“When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I
shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I
learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead
of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not
love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first,
second things are not suppressed but increased.”
–C. S. Lewis

There are two types of people–those who come into a room and say, ‘Well, here I am!’ and those who come in and say, ‘Ah, there you are.’

– Frederick L Collins

“I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.”
– Doug MacLeod
