Don't hit a man when he's down -- kick him; it's easier.
Familiarity breeds attempt.
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at
different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
-- Clive James
If you keep anything long enough, you can throw it away.
Interpreter, n.:
One who enables two persons of different languages to
understand each other by repeating to each what it would have been to
the interpreter's advantage for the other to have said.
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella,
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steals the just's umbrella.
--Lord Bowen
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide
a test load.
Your conscience never stops you from doing anything. It just stops you
from enjoying it.
