One, a robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law; Three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.: Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992), Laws of Robotics from I. Robot, 1950
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 3
An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "King Richard III", Act 4 scene 4
They say, best men are moulded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Measure for Measure", Act 5 scene 1
We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.: Charlton Ogburn, "Merrill's Marauders", Harpers Magazine, January 1957
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong -- because someday you will have been all of these.: George Washington Carver (1864 - 1943)
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.: Octavio Paz (1914 - ), The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950)
Quotation ... A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.: Henry W. Fowler (1858 - 1933), A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926)
There is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that thought.: Pierre Bayle (1647 - 1706), Dictionairre Historique et Critique
