Here are the Quotes ...



Titus Maccius Plautus, Trinummus


What is yours is mine, and all mine is yours.

Danish proverb


No revenge is more honourable than the one not taken.

Aesop


A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.

Mary O'Hara


Love cannot survive if you just give it scraps of yourself, scraps of your time, scraps of your thoughts.

James Thurber


The wit makes fun of other persons the satirist makes fun of the world the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people--that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

Robert Henri


There are mighty few people who think what they think they think.

Robert F. Goheen


In the realm of ideas it is better to let the mind sally forth, even if some precious preconceptions suffer a mauling.

Miguel de Cervantes


I must follow him through thick and thin.

Paul Feyerabend


Knowledge is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges toward an ideal view; it is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible (and perhaps even incommensurable) alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth that is part of the collection forcing the others into greater articulation and all of them contributing, via this process of competition, to the development of our consciousness.

William Shakespeare


Lady you bereft me of all words,
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers.

Edward Gibbon


All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance.

Francis Edwards


All's fair in love and war.

David Borenstein


Bush Sr. was a jerk, Quayle an idiot, Clinton was atrocious and disgusting, most of those who persecuted him were hypocritical, Gore is shallow and weak, Bradley is an idealist, Bush Jr. a fool, and all of the independent candidates act like they're on drugs.

Neil Gershenfeld


For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That's a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they're unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork.

Wendell Willkie, An American Programme (1944)


The constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens.
