Perceiving Desires

There are people who possess not so much genius as a certain talent for perceiving the desires of the century, or even of the decade, before it has done so itself. - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

  Steve Jobs.

Your Product

When in doubt, raise money from your customers by selling them something they truly need--your product. - Seth Godin


Produce; don't just prepare to produce.

Few Rivals

He who is enamored of himself will at least have the advantage of being inconvenienced by few rivals. - Georg C. Lichtenberg


Being humble does not negate self-esteem.

Right Conduct

Laws control the lesser man... Right conduct controls the greater one. - Mark Twain 




Sorry Mark, but laws don't control (or protect) anyone. Philosophy does; that's why it should be taught in the schools. Laws only determine who to punish.

Your Easy Job

We always think every other man's job is easier than our own. The better he does it, the easier it looks. - Eden Phillpotts


Make your job look easy.

Getting It Built

If you don't get it built, the work doesn't matter. If you're brilliant and undiscovered and under-appreciated (in whatever field you choose), then you're being too generous about your definition of brilliant. - Seth Godin


Lack of humble is not just limited to teens.

True Affection

Passion is seldom the end of any story, for it cannot long endure if it is not soon supplemented with true affection and mutual respect. - Kathryn L. Nelson

Speechless

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. - Ingrid Bergman


It's not a good idea to tell your spouse that a kiss is a trick.

Radio Explained

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein


Technology can be explained simply, no matter how smart you are.

Going Out

A husband is like a fire, he goes out when unattended. - Evan Esar


Wives too.
