Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

He's suffering from Politicians' Logic. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it.: Yes, Prime Minister, (British TV program)
I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head: George Wallace
Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.: Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004), to Stuart Spencer, 1966 from "There He Goes Again: Ronald Reagan's Reign of Error" by Mark Green and Gail MacColl
Tortoise: But we must be careful in combining sentences. For instance, you'd grant that "Politicians lie" is true, wouldn't you? Achilles: Who could deny it? Tortoise: Good. Likewise, "Cast-iron sinks" is a valid utterance, isn't it? Achilles: Indubitably. Tortoise: Then, putting them together, we get "Politicians lie in cast-iron sinks" ...: Douglas R. Hofstadter, "Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid"
A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).: Frank Mankiewicz
The danger from computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as men, but that we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway.": Bernard Avishai
In a way, staring into a computer screen is like staring into an eclipse. It's brilliant and you don't realize the damage until its too late.": Bruce Sterling
The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.: Nathaniel Borenstein (1957 - )
And, of course, you have the commercials where savvy businesspeople Get Ahead by using their MacIntosh computers to create the ultimate American business product: a really sharp-looking report.: Dave Barry (1947 - )
An old puzzle asks how a barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. Answers range from dropping the instrument from the top and measuring the time of its fall to giving it to the building's superintendent in return for a look at the plans. A modern version of the puzzle asks how a personal computer can balance a checkbook. An elegant solution is to sell the machine and deposit the money.: Jon Bentley, More Programming Pearls
