I have heard many quotes but I want to know your favourite! My favourite quote would be "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone." -Bill Cosby

[Chris 1,794]

This would probably be mine from a great British man who ensured the World War 2 was won by the allied forces (send me a PM if you want to know more about how he did this )

"Victory at all costs; Victory in spite of all terror; Victory, however
long and hard the road may be. For without victory, there is no
survival." Sir Winston Churchill

It's nice and short, but it pretty much sums up a good motto for life:

"Whatever you are, be a good one" -Abraham Lincoln

[k2trf 508]

Haha, this topic could not have been made at a better time - I've got a great one that some of you might not get.

 

   "I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me.(...)

 

   And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from day=to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. 'This is it... this is where I belong...'

 

   I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...(...)

 

   This is our world now.... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin  color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat and lie to us and try to make us believe that it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

 

   Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for."

 

Taken from "The Hacker Crackdown, by Bruce Sterling, p.64/217; Project Gutenberg Etext #101, circa January 1994. Local copy printed 7/26/97. Original excerpt from "The Conscience of a Hacker" by "The Mentor", PHRACK Volume One, Issue 7, Phile 3.

 

Yes, this is one of those books that it is technically "illegal" (according to the powers that we allow to remain in existence) to reprint, sell, or in some places even own.

'If everyone was as serious as you think I should be. Then who'd be there to pick you up and dust you off after a possible failure, that would utterly crush someone who is that serious? Me. Because I refuse to let everyone kill each other because they become so dead set on whatever.'
