Perfection Flawed

If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake. - Frank Wilczek



What's the fun of doing something simple?

Slave Masters

Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters. – C. S. Lewis



It's not that you should complain about the way you are governed. It is that you should realize that not even a majority has the right to tell you what to do.

Thin Information

Information's pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience. - Clarence Day

Ignorance is not the single domain of politics; it pervades all criticism.

Planetary Heaven

Maybe this world is another planet's hell. - Aldous Huxley

Money Roots

Lack of money is the root of all evil. - George Bernard Shaw

Fault Finders

The only people who find what they are looking for in life are the fault finders. - Foster's Law

Eunuch's Criticism

Critics are like eunuchs in a harem. They're there every night, they see it done every night, they see how it should be done every night, but they can't do it themselves.- Brendan Behan



Remembering this may take the sting of criticism and turn it into a reason to chuckle.

Yesterday's Winners

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. - Don Marquis

... and yesterday's winners are already half way through today's challenges.

Reverence for Factories

The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise. - Calvin Coolidge



We should honor both the fiddler and the composer for work well done. Too often one is favored over the other. It takes both to make a thing of beauty (factories are beautiful too).
