Results from Cole's Quotables:

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.: Daisaku Ikeda
Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.: Miyamoto Musashi
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
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
