“The only way to learn from experience is to have different experiences.” “I have never been hurt by what I have not said.” “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” “The trouble with the world is that the stupid are so confident while the intelligent are full of doubt.” “The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits.” “Some people’s unwillingness to think for themselves represents accurate self-evaluation.” “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” “The organizations that actually change things are the ones that have a time horizon that’s longer than 36 hours.” “What we learn from history is that no one learns from history.” “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.” “Man is a rational animal. He can think up a reason for anything he wants to believe.” “Brains can be hired by the hour, just like muscle. Only character is not for sale at any price.” “If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, maybe you’re the asshole”. A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.” She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.” “I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?” “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.” The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.” “I am,” replied the balloonist. “But how did you know?” “Well,” said the man, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You’ve made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect ME to solve your problem. You’re in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now, it’s MY fault. “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.” “I’m not going to insult your intelligence by suggesting that you believe what you just said.” The first rule of pessimism: it can always get worse. “Of two evils, choose neither.” A “post turtle” is a turtle resting atop a fence post. The turtle didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong there, he can’t get anything done while he’s up there and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing down. Kind of describes our current president, doesn’t it? “Just because you love something doesn’t mean you can’t suck at it.” Source: The Four Hour Workweek |
