Freebsd Fortunes 7

We've tried each spinning space mote
And reckoned its true worth:
Take us back again to the homes of men
On the cool, green hills of Earth.

The arching sky is calling
Spacemen back to their trade.
All hands!  Standby!  Free falling!
And the lights below us fade.
Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps the race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet--

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.
                -- Robert A. Heinlein, 1941

Cooper and Claudette Colbert, and to be beaten up by both of them!
                -- David Niven, "Bring On the Empty Horses"

What a misfortune to be a woman!  And yet, the worst misfortune is not to
understand what a misfortune it is.

What a strange game.  The only winning move is not to play.

What, after all, is a halo?  It's only one more thing to keep clean.
                -- Christopher Fry

What an artist dies with me!
                -- Nero

What an author likes to write most is his signature on the
back of a cheque.
                -- Brendan Francis

What awful irony is this?
We are as gods, but know it not.
