Eh ... I've got a gajillion quotes I've seen but ... am to lazy to look them all up right now ...
Off the top of my head ...
"Almost there ... almost there ..." - Y Fighter Pilot attacking the Death Star - Star Wars
"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning ... it smells like ... victory." - Robert Duvall Apocalypse Now
Philosophic Advice from the Local Sysadmin:
"If, as it has been said, a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money, a computer is a hole in space into which you pour time." - Local Sysadmin
"Human Stupidity Knows No Bounds." - Local Sysadmin (and others)
"There really are times when it just doesn't get any better - there are never any times when it can't get any worse." - Local Sysadmin
"There's no such thing as Unix, only Unix Variants, the great glory of Unix being that you can reprogram the operating system - the great failure being that everyone and their brother has." - Local Sysadmin
"Coffee giveth and Coffee taketh away ..." - Local Sysadmin
"Never treat a woman as an equal. Women have such an ingrained sense of inferiority that if you treat one as an equal she is not going to say "Hey! What a great guy! He treats me like I'm as good as he is." No. That is not what she is going to say. What she is going to say is "He treats me as an equal. He must be as big a jerk as I am." - Local Sysadmin
"If you want catch phrases - Read Sun Tzu. If you want to understand war - Read Clausewitz." - Local Sysadmin
Selections from my Green & White Striped Coffee Cup:
"If the Input Editor as been designed to reject all Bad Input, an ingenious idiot will dicover a method to get Bad Data past it." "Not until a program has been in production for at least six months will the most harmful error then be discovered." - From Troutmans's Programming Laws
"Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer to maintain it." - From Laws of Programming
"A carelessly planned project takes three times longer to complete than expected; a carefully planned project will only take twice as long." - From Golub's Laws of Computerdom
"If computers get too [sic] powerful we can organize them into a committee - that will do them in." - Bradley's Bromide
Si vis pacem, para bellum - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus
"Tracers Point Both Ways." - Military Saying
"Friendly Fire - Isn't." - Military Saying
"The pitcher which goes to often to the well, at last ... does not return." - Ancient Saying
"Amateurs talk strategy. Profesionals talk logistics." - Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. (among others)
"Everything is very simple in war but the simplest thing is difficult." " ... and in this labyrinth it sticks fast, and man, who in great things as well as in small, usually acts more in the impulse of ideas and feelings than according to strictly logical conclusions, is hardly conscious of his confusion, unsteadiness of purpose and inconsistency." - From Carl von Clausewitz, On War.
"There are good Indians and bad Indians. There are good Whites and Bad Whites. The Bad People keep starting wars that get the Good People killed." - Black Kettle
"Power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Mao Tse-tung
"You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you." Leon Trotsky

My favorite Einstein quote:
"Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not certain about the former."
And I don't know who said "It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

schlock mercenary seven habits of highly effective Pirates.
1. Pillage, then burn. 2. A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on. 3. An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody. 4. Close air support covereth a multitude of sins. 6. If violence wasnÆt your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it. 8. Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it's on the far side of the airlock. 9. Never turn your back on an enemy. 10. Sometimes the only way out is through the hull. 11. Everything is air-droppable at least once. 12. A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head. 13. Do unto others. 16. Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth. 21. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow. 27. Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence. 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less. 30. A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go. 31. Only cheaters prosper. 34. If youÆre leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun. 35. That which does not kill you has made a tactical error. 36. When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support. 37. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.' 38. Just because it's easy for you doesn't mean it can't be hard on your clients.

Groucho Marx:
"From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend on reading it."
"Sincerity - If you can fake that, you've got it made."
"I sent the club a wire stating, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER"."
"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."
Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Quote: If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... I am become Death, the Shatterer of Worlds.
J. Robert Oppenheimer on the Bhagavad Gita. Its not the actual quote out of the Bhagavad Gita, but he changed it to reflect what he saw as their collective folly at making the most powerful force in the universe. He said this after the first ever atomic bomb went off at the Los Alamos testing range. One of my all time favorite quotes.
