Here are some of my favorites...see if you recognize the last one.


"It’s crucial to take a sense of humility into the world. By the time you make it to a top graduate school, almost all your learning has come from people who are smarter and more experienced than you: parents, teachers, bosses. But once you’ve finished at Harvard Business School or any other top academic institution, the vast majority of people you’ll interact with on a day-to-day basis may not be smarter than you. And if your attitude is that only smarter people have something to teach you, your learning opportunities will be very limited. But if you have a humble eagerness to learn something from everybody, your learning opportunities will be unlimited." - Clayton M. Christensen


"Soy milk is essentially Coffee-Mate laced with estrogen, and is best left to vegans and other socialist vegetarian types that can't bring themselves to eat the completely natural-for-humans flesh of our friends the Animals but who have no trouble with slaughtering trillions of our other friends the Plants and processing -- in gigantic factories run by multinational corporations with shareholders that eat meat themselves." Mark Rippetoe


"Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The human beings who are more similar, more ordinary, have had, and always have, an advantage; those more select, subtle, strange, and difficult to understand, easily remain alone, succumb to accidents, being isolated, and rarely propagate." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The degradation which most workers experience on the job is the sum of assorted indignities which can be denominated as 'discipline.' Discipline consists of the totality of totalitarian controls at the workplace -- surveillance, rotework, imposed work tempos, production quotas, punching -in and -out, etc. Discipline is what the factory and the office and the store share with the prison and the school and the mental hospital. It is something historically original and horrible. It was beyond the capacities of such demonic dictators of yore as Nero and Genghis Khan and Ivan the Terrible. For all their bad intentions they just didn't have the machinery to control their subjects as thoroughly as modern despots do." - Bob Black


"Kisses or French kisses? Kisses, because I think they’re much more tender." - Alizèe

Oh là là...

Just read this quotation in the Dhammapada, and really find it to ring true: "All things are preceded by the mind, issue forth from the mind, and consist of the mind."

[Rictor]

"Anyone who says that full squats are 'bad for the knees' has, with that statement, demonstrated conclusively that they are not entitled to an opinion about the matter. People who know nothing about a topic, especially a very technical one that requires specific training, knowledge, and experience, are not due an opinion about that topic and are better served by being quiet when it is asked about or discussed. For example, when brain surgery, or string theory, or the NFL draft, or women's dress sizes, or white wine is being discussed, I remain quiet, odd though that may seem. But seldom is this the case when orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, or nurses are asked about full squats." - Mark Rippetoe

"A man who eats meat wants to get his teeth into something. A man who does not eat meat wants to get his teeth into something else."

"Keep your friends close, but enemies closer."

From The Godfather movie, at least I think so

"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." - Jean-Paul Sartre
