Freebsd Fortunes 6

There appears before you a threatening figure clad all over in heavy black
armor.  His legs seem like the massive trunk of the oak tree.  His broad
shoulders and helmeted head loom high over your own puny frame and you
realize that his powerful arms could easily crush the very life from your
body.  There hangs from his belt a veritable arsenal of deadly weapons:
sword, mace, ball and chain, dagger, lance, and trident.
He speaks with a commanding voice:

                "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

As he grabs you by the neck all grows dim about you.

There appears to be irrefutable evidence that
the mere fact of overcrowding induces violence.
                -- Harvey Wheeler

There are a few things that never go out of style,
and a feminine woman is one of them.
                -- Ralston

There are a lot of lies going around.... and half of them are true.
                -- Winston Churchill

There are bad times just around the corner,
There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky
And it's no good whining
About a silver lining
For we know from experience that they won't roll by...
                -- Noel Coward

There are few people more often in the wrong
than those who cannot endure to be thought so.

There are few virtues that the Poles do not possess --
and there are few mistakes they have ever avoided.
                -- W. Churchill, Parliament, August, 1945

There are four kinds of homicide: felonious,
excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy...
                -- Ambrose Bierce

There are four stages to a marriage.  First there's the affair, then there's
the marriage, then children and finally the fourth stage, without which you
cannot know a woman, the divorce.
                -- Norman Mailer

There are in this country two very large monopolies.  The larger of the
two has the following record:  The Vietnam War, Watergate, double-digit
inflation, fuel and energy shortages, bankrupt airlines, and the 8-cent
postcard.  The second is responsible for such things as the transistor,
the solar cell, lasers, synthetic crystals, high fidelity stereo recording,
sound motion pictures, radio astronomy, negative feedback, magnetic tape,
magnetic "bubbles", electronic switching systems, microwave radio and TV
relay systems, information theory, the first electrical digital computer,
and the first communications satellite.  Guess which one is going to tell
the other how to run the telephone business?  I can hardly wait for the
results.
