I know we had had this quite a time ago, but I assume you collected more useful quote since that.

My favourite are:
---
Get a coder, tie him to a chair, and make him try it - Raa tor'h
---
*Gets an FS2 T-shirt with "Available for FREE from me" on it* - WMCoolmon
---
assuming he's a he

but then again if he's not a he he'd be a she so i should not have described him as 'he' in my previous comment

assuming she's a she... - SuperCoolAi

- Spike milligan

Still think this one's brilliant but I'm not sure if you could characterise it as a quote, more of an observation I guess:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)



If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

Woody Allen (1935 - )



Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)



Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941



You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.

Will Rogers (1879 - 1935), New York Times, Dec. 23, 1929



To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.

Farmers' Almanac, 1978



In democracy its your vote that counts.; In feudalism its your count that votes.

Mogens Jallberg



To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Robert Orben



It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.

Tom Stoppard (1937 - ), Jumpers (1972) act 1



If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Robert X. Cringely, InfoWorld magazine



I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Stephen Hawking (1942 - )



One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming.
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted---nevermore!" ---- The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

I think that was directed at me in one of our religion discussion threads. :doubt:

"I don't believe there are any new objections to be discovered to the truth of Christianity, though there may be some art in presenting old ones in a new dress. My faith has been greatly confirmed by the infidel writers I have read. Men may argue ingeniously against our faith, as indeed they may against anything -- but what can they say in defense of their own -- I would carry the war into their own territories, I would ask them what they believe -- if they said they believed anything, I think that they might be shown to be more full of difficulties and liable to infinitely greater objections than the system they oppose and they were credulous and unreasonable for believing it. If they said they did not believe anything, you could not, to be sure, have anything further to say to them. In that case they would be insane, or at best ill qualified to teach others what they ought to believe or disbelieve." ~ Francis Scott Key

Long quote indeed but really good non the less. :nod:
