Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Learning builds daily accumulation, but the practice of Tao builds daily simplification. Simplify and simplify, until all contamination from relative, contridictory thinking is eliminated. Then one does nothing, yet nothing is left undone. One who wins the world does so by not meddling with it. One who meddles with the world loses it.: Tao te Ching, 48. Lao-Tzu
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.: Niccolo Machiavelli "The Prince" 1532
Strange how the older generations can't program a VCR if their life depended on it, but they managed to operate the climate contol system of their 1958 Ramblers, which consisted of six unmarked knobs, one labeled "AirFloMatic" in unreadable cursive script, and four levers underneath the dash, which you had to turn, then pull.: Dan Tasman

It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
It's not that I don't enjoy it, but it's kind of like a trip to Disneyland. You get so excited about a ride on the Matterhorn, and then when it's over, you realize you wasted all that time in line for a minute and a half upside down and the chance to throw up.: Murphy Brown, on "The Sex Thing"
I'm a solipsist and, I have to say, I'm surprised there aren't more of us.: from a letter to Bertrand Russell
This is the rock-solid principle on which the whole of the Corporation's [IBM's] Galaxy-wide success is founded...their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws.: TH Nelson, Computer Lib., 1988, London: Penguin.
I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to die in a fire of suspicious origin: author unknown
Just goes to show you. You can kill a guy, fold him up, stuff him in your trunk, and still you don't *really* know him.: The Kids in the Hall
Beauty is the first test; there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.: G.H. Hardy, in _A Mathematician's Apology_
