Fortune: 411 - 420 of 1231 from Linux People

Linux People:  411 of 1231

I have found little that is good about human beings.  In my experience
most of them are trash.
                -- Sigmund Freud

I have great faith in fools -- self confidence my friends call it.
                -- Edgar Allan Poe
 
Linux People:  413 of 1231

I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.
                -- Kahlil Gibran

I have made mistakes but I have never made the mistake of claiming
that I have never made one.
                -- James Gordon Bennett

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his
own eyes.  What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks
of himself.  To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
                -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I knew one thing: as soon as anyone said you didn't need a gun, you'd better
take one along that worked.
                -- Raymond Chandler

I love mankind ... It's people I hate.
                -- Schulz

        I made it a rule to forbear all direct contradictions to the sentiments
of others, and all positive assertion of my own.  I even forbade myself the use
of every word or expression in the language that imported a fixed opinion, such
as "certainly", "undoubtedly", etc.   I adopted instead of them "I conceive",
"I apprehend", or "I imagine" a thing to be so or so; or "so it appears to me
at present".
        When another asserted something that I thought an error, I denied
myself the pleasure of contradicting him abruptly, and of showing him
immediately some absurdity in his proposition.  In answering I began by
observing that in certain cases or circumstances his opinion would be right,
but in the present case there appeared or semed to me some difference, etc.
        I soon found the advantage of this change in my manner; the
conversations I engaged in went on more pleasantly.  The modest way in which I
proposed my opinions procured them a readier reception and less contradiction.
I had less mortification when I was found to be in the wrong, and I more easily
prevailed with others to give up their mistakes and join with me when I
happened to be in the right.
                -- Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

"I may appear to be just sitting here like a bucket of tapioca, but don't
let appearances fool you.  I'm approaching old age ... at the speed of light."
                -- Prof. Cosmo Fishhawk

I may be getting older, but I refuse to grow up!
