Results from Cole's Quotables:

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.: Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - ), Technology and the Future
Honesty is the best image.: Tom Wilson, Ziggy (comic)
The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within.: Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.: Ziggy
Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.: Max Frisch
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.: Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), South Africa, 1966
Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time.: Bernard Baruch
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
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.: Omar Bradley (1893 - 1981)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

We have come through a strange cycle in programming, starting with the creation of programming itself as a human activity. Executives with the tiniest smattering of knowledge assume that anyone can write a program, and only now are programmers beginning to win their battle for recognition as true professionals. Not just anyone, with any background, or any training, can do a fine job of programming. Programmers know this, but then why is it that they think that anyone picked off the street can do documentation? One has only to spend an hour looking at papers written by graduate students to realize the extent to which the ability to communicate is not universally held. And so, when we speak about computer program documentation, we are not speaking about the psychology of computer programming at all - except insofar as programmers have the illusion that anyone can do a good job of documentation, provided he is not smart enough to be a programmer.: Gerald Weinberg, "The Psychology of Computer Programming"
