No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.

No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
                -- C. Schulz

No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

"No program is perfect,"
They said with a shrug.
"The customer's happy--
What's one little bug?"

But he was determined,                  Then change two, then three more,
The others went home.                   As year followed year.
He dug out the flow chart               And strangers would comment,
Deserted, alone.                        "Is that guy still here?"

Night passed into morning.              He died at the console
The room was cluttered                  Of hunger and thirst
With core dumps, source listings.       Next day he was buried
"I'm close," he muttered.               Face down, nine edge first.

Chain smoking, cold coffee,             And his wife through her tears
Logic, deduction.                       Accepted his fate.

"Just change one instruction."          He's just working late."
                -- The Perfect Programmer

indication-applied occurrence.

No question is so difficult as one to which the answer is obvious.

No rock so hard but that a little wave
May beat admission in a thousand years.
                -- Tennyson

No self-made man ever did such a good job
that some woman didn't want to make some alterations.
                -- Kim Hubbard

No skis take rocks like rental skis!

No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary
for that purpose to keep awake all day.
                -- Nietzsche
