    Talking

    Whether you think that you can; or that you cant; you are usually right.
    - Henry Ford (1863-1947)

    Wise men make proverbs; but fools repeat them.
    - Samuel Palmer (1805-80)


    There is only one nature - the division into science and engineering is a human imposition; not a natural one. Indeed; the division is a human failure; it reflects our limited capacity to comprehend the whole.
    - Bill Wulf

    There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail.

    I pretty much believe the following is how I live my life.

    "The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him."


    May I add, the final result of a gentleman is to realize that even those of no possible service to him may actually (hehehe) hold hidden significance.

    check these out.

    Kindness out of season destroys authority.

    People usually are the happiest at home.

    What you are is God's gift to you, what you do with yourself is your gift to God.

    You must pre-live the future... not re-live the past... and savor the moment.

    Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them-and then you destroy yourself.

    If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?

    We all live in suspense from day to day in other words, you are the hero of your own story.

    The intellect is not a serious thing, and never has been. It is an instrument on which one plays, that is all.

    He teaches me to be good that does me good.

    Towering genius disdains a beaten path.

    I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

    All the gods are dead except the god of war.

    Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

    Creation is a drug I can't do without.

    The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius.

    We swallow with one gulp the lie that flatters us, and drink drop by drop the truth which is bitter to us.

    Failure -- The man who can tell others what to do and how to do it, but never does it himself.

    The greatest power is often simple patience.

    For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.

    Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

    Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity.

    When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching.

    This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.

    I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

    Since we cannot attain unto it, let us revenge ourselves with railing against it. (or, lets not!)

    With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.

    It is the experience of living that is important, not searching for meaning. We bring meaning by how we love the world.
