Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about his own ruin than his preservation.
-Niccolò Machiavelli

This one deserves an Oscar ! ( ok you can insert the asscar joke here ).Rhosey wants to have all relevant data (weather in Urumuqi in Fahrenheit multiplied with the Pi of Celsius, CPU fan speed divided by anus, remaining time in kilograms, the exchange rate of Vietnamese Dong to Hungarian Forint, all unread posts on the #! forums, number of spam in hotmail.com and the whole file tree of his Windows 7 partition) compacted into a bar that is piped through a conky into OSD-notifyd via morsecode, but silenting whenever a song name contains a whitespace, that's Crunchbangy enough for me - machinebacon

Tell me about the lows and the highs
Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tell me is the truth or a lie

Fuck humility.
You can take pride in your accomplishments while at the same time honoring the role others have played in that accomplishment. Think about it: every single thing in your life has been accomplished with the help of others, whether you realized it at the time or not. you are always building upon previous work, you are always "standing on the shoulders of giants" - everything is a remix.
It just depends on how you look at it - rhowaldt

Re: Quote of the day
The space pod was resting on the polished floor of an elegant, anonymous hotel suite that might have been in any large city on Earth. He was staring into a living room with a coffee table, a divan, a dozen chairs, a writing desk, various lamps, a half-filled bookcase with some magazines lying on it, and even a bowl of flowers. Van Gogh's Bridge at Arles was hanging on one wall - Wyeth's Christina's World on another. He felt confident that when he pulled open the drawer of that desk, he would find a Gideon Bible inside it...

Re: Quote of the day
I was visiting my Great Aunt who lives a few hours away over the weekend and she had an old embroidery with this on it:
Made me think; I probably speak before I think too often :)Whoever restrains his words has knowledge,
and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
