Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Men have no right to put the well-being of the present generation wholly out of the question. Perhaps the only moral trust with any certainty in our hands is the care of our own time.: Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)
I paint paintings because I can't get the experience in any other way but there are many more experiences that are equally satisfying to me and equally inept at answering all my questions, but hover in exactitude in describing themselves and defying me to define their logic.: Julian Schnabel
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all.": Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898)
The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity and until they do (and find the cure) all ideal plans will fall into quicksand.: Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)
Basically a dog person. I certainly, though, wouldn't want to offend my constituents who are cat people, and I should say that being, I hope, a sensitive person, that I have nothing against cats, and had cats when I was a boy, and if we didn't have the two dogs might very well be interested in having a cat now.: Incoming Missouri Congressman James Talent, responding to the question "Are you a dog or a cat person?"

Results from Poor Man's College:

I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.: Josiah Gilbert Holland
We must not let go manifest truths because we cannot answer all questions about them.: Jeremy Collier
Every scientific fulfillment raises new questions; it asks to be surpassed and outdated.: Max Weber
Beware of the man who knows the answer before he understands the question.: Author Unknown
