Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

.... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), 1940, in his first address as the newly appointed Prime Minister.
No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.: General George Patton
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.: Dwight David Eisenhower, 1953
A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.: Edward Teller (1908 - 2003)
Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.: Hunter S. Thompson (1939 - 2005), "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.: Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
I can see the time when every city will have one.: An American mayor's reaction to the news of the invention of the telephone
No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris ... [because] no known motor can run at the requisite speed for four days without stopping.: Orville Wright
Inventions reached their limit long ago, and I see no hope for further development.: Julius Frontinus, 1st century A.D.
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.: John Von Neumann (ca. 1949)
