Re: Wise sayings
"The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."

Re: Wise sayings
An old boss of mine used to come out with some right pearls; he was one of those 'folksy wisdom' guys, but he'd always muddle them up hilariously, such as "that boy can't tell his arse from his elbow" and "he knows x like the back of his hand" would go something like "he can't wipe his arse for his hand" and suchlike.

The trick to winning a fight is to find your calm center. Cram all your calm in that sumbitch, so that calm won't accidentally distract you from making the most violent use of your berserker exterior.

Measure twice, cut once
Or the more modern variant;
The truly lazy do it right the first time so it doesn't need to be redone.

You'll find that it probably suits your book,
To be a bit smarter than you look.
Observe that the easiest method by far
Is to look a bit stupider than you are.

Give me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage, for the things I can.
and the wisdom to tell the difference.

Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage for the things I can.

Re: Wise sayings
My high school band director had that posted on his office window
i like this quote that is often misattributed to Marcus Aurelius
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.
