OK, let's have a "Quotes" thread!

We become aware of the void as we fill it.

― Antonio Porchia

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a Racketeer, a Gangster for Capitalism (Corporatism). I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American Oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped Purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American Sugar Interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American Fruit Companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his Rackets in three districts. I Operated On Three Continents.- United States Marine Smedley Darlington Butler - 1935

I'd say more often than not the worst human condition is going with the flow?

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances ...

― William Shakespeare

Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.

― José Saramago, Death with Interruptions

Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime later to cry over spilt milk.

― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

Life ...

...to paraphrase infinite space and time...

... is the best and only timekeeper.

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”—Patrick Henry

One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda. --Douglas MacArthur

Today in America, unions have a secure place in our industrial life. Only a handful of reactionaries harbor the ugly thought of breaking unions and depriving working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice. I have no use for those -- regardless of their political party -- who hold some vain and foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when organized labor was huddled, almost as a hapless mass. Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

In an imperfect world I guess "quality control" is necessary but what good does it do,
especially if not quality controlled
and how often is that? Aduuu!

Wish in one hand, sh#! in the other.

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.

If you want something done right...

Those who can, do; those who can't, preach.

I'm thankful to all those who said "no" because of them, I did it myself.

Nice quotes. Reminds me of inspiration quotes like these: http://www.lifebuzz.com/just-stop/#!bajDEz

I like the images that go along there Arcane++

Dilbert: (thinking of new name for product) How about Sisyphus, the the guy who pushed a rock up a hill for eternity? Pointy-haired Boss: It could convey a sense of playfulness... Dilbert: (dumbstruck) It's supposed to convey a sense of futility! Pointy-haired Boss: You have to look at it from the rock's point of view.

/--\|/--\|/--\|/--\|Dilbert: The Name Episode

Or another good episode to link t not the "true" "definition" of "Digital infinity..." Dilbert's, The Infomercial.

Since we're on the topic of Dilbert, I noticed that Windows was in this one:
