Agatha Christie

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

Chief Joseph

Hear me, my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more, forever.

Joel Spolsky

The difference between a tolerable programmer and a great programmer is not how many programming languages they know, and it's not whether they prefer Python or Java. It's whether they can communicate their ideas. By persuading other people, they get leverage. By writing clear comments and technical specs, they let other programmers understand their code, which means other programmers can use and work with their code instead of rewriting it. Absent this, their code is worthless.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine
