Freebsd Fortunes 6

To stand and be still,
At the Birkenhead drill,
Is a damned tough bullet to chew.
                -- Rudyard Kipling

To stay young requires unceasing cultivation
of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
                -- Lazarus Long, "Time Enough For Love"

To stay youthful, stay useful.

To teach is to learn.

To teach is to learn twice.
                -- Joseph Joubert

To the landlord belongs the doorknobs.

To Theodore Roosevelt:
        You are like the Wind and I like the Lion.  You form the Tempest.
The sand stings my eyes and the Ground is parched.  I roar in defiance but
you do not hear.  But between us there is a difference.  I, like the lion,
must remain in my place.  While you, like the wind, will never know yours.
                Mulay Hamid El Raisuli
                Lord of the Riff
                Sultan to the Berbers
                Last of the Barbary Pirates

To thine own self be true.
(If not that, at least make some money.)

To think contrary to one's era is heroism.  But to speak against it is
madness.
                -- Eugene Ionesco

To those accustomed to the precise, structured methods of conventional
system development, exploratory development techniques may seem messy,
inelegant, and unsatisfying.  But it's a question of congruence:
precision and flexibility may be just as disfunctional in novel,
uncertain situations as sloppiness and vacillation are in familiar,
well-defined ones.  Those who admire the massive, rigid bone structures
of dinosaurs should remember that jellyfish still enjoy their very
secure ecological niche.
                -- Beau Sheil, "Power Tools for Programmers"
