Quotes of the Day!
I’m back in school, and doing lots of fairly boring reading, so your standards get a bit lowered for what’s ‘amusing’ in the readings. Here is one quote that I enjoyed though:
“Effective executives know, of course, that there are fools around and that there are mischief-makers. But they do not assume that the man who disagrees with what they themselves see as clear and obvious is, therefore, either a fool or a knave.”
Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Decision
It’s a smart, good thing to say, but even more importantly – this guy said ‘mischief-makers’ and ‘knave!’ KNAVE!
To counter this boring (but oddly funny) quote I have a lovely little one.
“There are many bad things about the human race. But there are many good things too. And one of the best is this – dreams, great dreams, die hard …”
The Silent Gondoliers, Williman Goldman (the dude who wrote The Princess Bride – one of my top 5 favorites)
Have a good weekend everybody!
Quotes of the Day!
“I also told the students that, for the sake of humanity’s future, I hoped that they were all sterile.”
A Confederacy of Dunces, an Ignatius J. Reilly quote
“In fact we agreed we would stop using any form of birth control and let God decide how many children we would have.”
– From the Duggar family* website? I don’t know if this website is real or a joke – and that’s a bad sign when something you care about may accidentally be mistaken for a hoax or a prank. Is his name really Jim Bob? Call me close-minded, but I have a hard time taking that name seriously.
*They’re the folks with I think 19 kids. 19 kids. That’s sick.
Anyhow. On this weird message – have a good weekend everybody? (Go SMU, Go Army!)
