Thoughts<\/strong>
\nNever argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.<\/p>\n

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.<\/p>\n

Is it an attitude problem, or a perception problem?<\/p>\n

The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.<\/p>\n

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.<\/p>\n

If you don’t like the news, go out and make some.<\/p>\n

Quotes<\/strong>
\n“The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.” – Walt West<\/em><\/p>\n

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” – Albert Einstein<\/em><\/p>\n

“Don’t talk unless you can improve the silence.” – Laurence Coughlin<\/em><\/p>\n

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” – Dorothy Parker<\/em><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Thoughts
\n<\/strong>A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.<\/p>\n

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.<\/p>\n

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.<\/p>\n

Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately, it kills all its students.<\/p>\n

If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done.<\/p>\n

There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count and\u00a0those who can’t.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Quotes
\n<\/strong>“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle<\/em><\/p>\n

“The trouble with the rat-race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.” – Lily Tomlin<\/em><\/p>\n
