Fortune: 561 - 570 of 2298 from Freebsd Fortunes 5

Freebsd Fortunes 5:  561 of 2298

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders
of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to
drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.  Voice or no voice, the people
can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.  That is easy.  All you
have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists
for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.  It works the same
in every country.
                -- Hermann Goering

Nature abhors a hero.  For one thing, he violates the law of conservation
of energy.  For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the
fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be
creamed?
                -- Solomon Short

Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
 
Freebsd Fortunes 5:  565 of 2298

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night,
God said, "Let Newton be," and all was light.

It did not last; the devil howling "Ho!
Let Einstein be!" restored the status quo.
 
Freebsd Fortunes 5:  566 of 2298

Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely
given them little.
                -- Dr. Samuel Johnson
 
Freebsd Fortunes 5:  567 of 2298

Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where,
it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.
                -- Fran Lebowitz
 
Freebsd Fortunes 5:  568 of 2298

Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be
tolerated until they acquire some sense.
                -- William Phelps
 
Freebsd Fortunes 5:  569 of 2298

Nature to all things fixed the limits fit,
And wisely curbed proud man's pretending wit.
As on the land while here the ocean gains,
In other parts it leaves wide sandy plains;
Thus in the soul while memory prevails,
The solid power of understanding fails;
Where beams of warm imagination play,
The memory's soft figures melt away.
                -- Alexander Pope (on runtime bounds checking?)

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.
                -- Francis Bacon
