Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

It's amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles being too tired.

The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. (Lazarus Long)

If a grasshopper tries to fight a lawnmower, one may admire his courage but not his judgement.

Take care of the cojones and the frijoles will take care of themselves. Try to have getaway money - but don't be fanatic about it.
