“What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?

How else can we put ourselves in harmonious relation with the great verities and consolations of the infinite and the eternal?

And I avow my faith that we are marching towards better days. Humanity will not be cast down.

We are going on swinging bravely forward along the grand high road and already behind the distant mountains is the promise of the sun.”

“Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.” - Rich Cook
