Quotes -

“It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.” ( Clockwise,  1986, John Cleese, Hope)

“ Experience is what you get the second after you needed it” How true this is when you’ve just bumped your car!

“Light is faster than sound. That explains why some people appear bright until they open their mouth!”

 

Thought for the day

A critic is a person who knows the way but can’t drive the car

If we don’t take care of the customer someone else will

The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards

If we can dream it we can do it

It is a mistake to take fussiness for efficiency

The impossible is often the untried

Money can’t buy you friends but it gets you a better class of envy

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow

Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers

The best way to protect the future is to invent it

It’s no good having a spark of genius if you suffer ignition trouble

Two things bad for the heart, running upstairs and running down people

Honesty pays, but it doesn’t seem to pay enough to suit some people

Is there anything so perfect that it cannot be improved

Honour, like life, once lost is never recovered

One is never to old to unlearn bad habits

Luck is something a man goes to lengths to create

Admitting we are wrong is a modest way of showing we have grown wiser

Starve the problem, feed the opportunity

Being a failure isn’t as easy as it looks

The reward for having done a thing well is to have done it

It requires very little ability to find fault, that is why there are so many critics

It is a wise man who holds his tongue when he is right

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt not due

Wise men don’t need advice; fools won’t take it
