Don't worry over what other people are thinking about you.  They're too
busy worrying over what you are thinking about them.

Unnamed Law:
        If it happens, it must be possible.

Putt's Law:
        Technology is dominated by two types of people:
                Those who understand what they do not manage.
                Those who manage what they do not understand.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the
average man can see better than he can think.

There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a
suitable application of high explosives.

Ray's Rule of Precision:
        Measure with a micrometer.  Mark with chalk.  Cut with an axe.

Dimensions will always be expressed in the least usable term.
Velocity, for example, will be expressed in furlongs per fortnight.

Weinberg's First Law:
        Progress is made on alternate Fridays.

It is not enough to succeed.  Others must fail.
                -- Gore Vidal

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to
constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every
appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA
statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant.  This
also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.
                -- FORTRAN manual for Xerox Computers

If at first you don't succeed,
redefine success!
