Talkers are no good doers. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI"

Sometimes a man with too broad a perspective reveals himself as having no real perspective at all. A man who tries too hard to see every side may be a man who is trying to avoid choosing any side. A man who tries too hard to seek a deeper truth may be trying to hide from the truth he already knows. That is not a sign of intellectual sophistication and "great thinking". It is a demonstration of moral degeneracy and cowardice. -- Steven Den Beste

Philosophy: the finding of bad reasons for what one believes by instinct. -- Brave New World (paraphrased)

Software is like sex: It’s better when it’s free. -- Linus Torvalds

C++ is like teenage sex: Everybody is talking about it all the time, only few are really doing it. -- unknown

When your enemy is making a very serious mistake, don't be impolite and disturb him. -- Napoleon Bonaparte (allegedly)
