Results from Cole's Quotables:

We're supposed to be perfect our first day on the job and then show constant improvement.: Ed Vargo, major league baseball umpire
I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.: Chief Justice Earl Warren
Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal.: Eric Lustbader, The Kaisho
The person who is waiting for something to turn up might start with their shirt sleeves.: Garth Henrichs
Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.: Andre Gide (1869 - 1951), Le traite du Narcisse (1891)
If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe. We no longer waste manpower by carrying the flag into battle. Instead we need battalions of electronic engineers to keep the terrible machinery grinding.: Ernest K. Gann, The Black Watch
Beauty is a form of genius--is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

The Universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.: Eden Philpotts
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.: Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
