Quotations
I like deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Douglas AdamsWhen I argue with reality, I lose -
but only 100 percent of the time
Katie Byron“Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.”
William ShakespeareAlthough personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Winston ChurchillWatch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.Categories
