coldcreation Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace. [...] The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on. ~Ulysses S. Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 what happens if a big asteroid hits earth? judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad. ~ dave berry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip1882 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 that great, i like dave berry. here's some more of his quotes.Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects. For me, the worst part of playing golf, by far, has always been hitting the ball. Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.'

But it’s no use, mister; it’sturtles all the way down.”" ~Carl Sagan, 1979, p. 293 Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paigetheoracle Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle (Robert Kennedy). The quiet suppression is what stops true progress in any society. It is what keeps a dictatorship stuck in time, a man stuck in a job he hates and the attack on whistle blowers. Truth will out? Not if those frightened of progress (because it leaves them behind) have anything to do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
