Freebsd Fortunes 5

Normally our rules are rigid; we tend to discretion, if for no other
reason than self-protection.  We never recommend any of our graduates,
although we cheerfully provide information as to those who have failed
their courses.
                -- Jack Vance, "Freitzke's Turn"

Nostalgia is living life in the past lane.

Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.

Not all men who drink are poets.
Some of us drink because we aren't poets.

Not all who own a harp are harpers.
                -- Marcus Terentius Varro

Not drinking, chasing women, or doing drugs won't
make you live longer -- it just seems that way.

Not every problem someone has with his girlfriend is necessarily due to
the capitalist mode of production.
                -- Herbert Marcuse

Not every question deserves an answer.

Not everything worth doing is worth doing well.

Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the
Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats
in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the
moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter -- for they had a machine,
a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect in every
respect. And they lived with it, and on it, and under it, and inside
it, for it was all they had -- first they saved up all their atoms,
then they put them all together, and if one didn't fit, why they
chipped at it a bit, and everything was just fine...
                -- Stanislaw Lem
