As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree" -- probably
because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
                -- Woody Allen

As the system comes up, the component builders will from time to time appear,
bearing hot new versions of their pieces -- faster, smaller, more complete,
or putatively less buggy.  The replacement of a working component by a new
version requires the same systematic testing procedure that adding a new
component does, although it should require less time, for more complete and
efficient test cases will usually be available.
                -- Frederick Brooks Jr., "The Mythical Man Month"

As to Jesus of Nazareth... I think the system of Morals and his Religion,
as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see;

                -- Benjamin Franklin

As well look for a needle in a bottle of hay.
                -- Miguel de Cervantes

As with most fine things, chocolate has its season.  There is a simple memory
aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order

proper time for chocolate.
                -- Sandra Boynton, "Chocolate: The Consuming Passion"

As you grow older, you will still do foolish things,

                -- The Cowboy

As you will see, I told them, in no uncertain terms, to see Figure one.
                -- Dave "First Strike" Pare

As Zeus said to Narcissus, "Watch yourself."

ASCII:
        The control code for all beginning programmers and those who would
        become computer literate.  Etymologically, the term has come down as
        a contraction of the often-repeated phrase "ascii and you shall
        receive."
                -- Robb Russon
