A quote from Theodore Roosevelt

[Insuber]

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Nice. There is a quote for everything. Just for fun...


"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it."
— Proverbs 3:27


"Management by objectives works if you first think through your objectives. Ninety percent of the time you haven't."
— Peter Drucker

"Don't equate activity with efficiency."
— Harvey Mackay

[Insuber]

Hehe brilliant guy you catched the idea ... let's continue:

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
Thomas A. Edison

Glad you didn't take me the wrong way either.

This one I've often thought was tailor made for flight sim development. WB Yeats called it, A Coat. It always makes me think of Oleg Maddox:


I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;

But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eyes
As though they'd wrought it.

Song, let them take it,
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.

great thread!!!


"These matters of economy and finance are so simple that they are within reach of any child. They only require knowledge of addition and subtraction. When you do not understand something, ask until you do understand. If you still dont understand, its because they are trying to steal from you. When you understand that, you will already have learned how to defend the motherland on the immaterial order of economic and financial concepts."

"Estos asuntos de economía y finanzas son tan simples que están al alcance de cualquier niño. Sólo requieren saber sumar y restar. Cuando usted no entiende una cosa, pregunte hasta que la entienda. Si no la entiende es que están tratando de robarlo. Cuando usted entienda eso, ya habrá aprendido a defender la patria en el orden inmaterial de los conceptos económicos y financieros". Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz

Thinking about a Thread in this Off topic Forum the following comes to my mind:

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf, because the other guys have rough men standing ready to do violence on their behalf...
