    A few things I've learned in life - (I didn't create these, I only restated them. - I don't know who to credit for the original idea.)

    1. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

    2. Most people don't have an attitude problem, they have a perception problem.

    3. Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

    4. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to
    their level, then beat you with experience.

    5. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are
    going to get.

    6. On the ladder of success, people are usually able to climb one rung above the level at which they were competent.

    7. Arguing with a fool is thrice foolish. It wastes your time, leaves you frustrated, and the fool enjoys it.


    Any favorites that you would like to share?

    i decided to play nice
    heres a list of my favourite cliches

    Feelings are everywhere -- be gentle.

    Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.

    It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back. Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician.
    Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.
    I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

    A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas.

    Entrepreneurial profit is the _expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.

    Malice is only another name for mediocrity.

    The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
    The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.

    Some consultants are like the bottom half of a double boiler: They get all heated up but don't know what's cooking.
    If you want your dreams to come true, don't over sleep.

    We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

    Architecture is petrified music.


    i am the god of copy and paste
