Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

In a way, staring into a computer screen is like staring into an eclipse. It's brilliant and you don't realize the damage until its too late.": Bruce Sterling

Results from Poor Man's College:

In history as in life it is success that counts. Start a political upheaval and let yourself be caught, and you will hang as a traitor. But place yourself at the head of a rebellion and gain your point, and all future generations will worship you as the Father of their Country.: Hendrik W. Van Loon
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
To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, yet he makes gods by the dozens.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.: The William Feather Magazine
The fields were fruitful and starving men moved on the roads. The granaries were full and the children of the poor grew up rachitic.: John Steinbeck (1902 - 1968)
A great philosophy is not one that passes final judgments and establishes ultimate truth. It is one that causes uneasiness and starts commotion.: Charles Peguy
Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.: W. J. Cameron
A good marriage winds up as a meeting of minds, which had better be pretty good to start with.: Author Unknown
