I seem to recall a quote attributed to one of the Kennedy boys that goes
something like this:


"Some people look at a difficult situation and say 'why?'.  Achievers look
at the same situation and say 'Why not?'."

Sorry for mangling it so bad, but could someone ID who said it and what the
true text of it is?  Post or reply to eric@tga.com

Thanks.

Someone repeated this to me last week and also attributed it to Mel

	Comedy is when I cut it again.

But really my version seems so apt that I wonder whether someone else

There's a quote that describes nuclear physics in this way: you want to
find out how a watch works, so you put it in a bag and hit it as hard
as you can with a hammer. Then you open the bag and look at the pieces.
If you don't understand how the watch works, you obviously need a bigger
hammer.

So I looked around a bit and sure enough, the sentence I quoted occurs
in Copleston's History of Philosophy but credited to Petrus Aureoli, a
_predecessor_ of Ockham's (still a Franciscan 8-)).  Should we call it
the Razor of Aureoli?

They might, but that looks reverse-engineered from English.  Would
_multiplicatio entium_ have made sense in Ockham's technical language?

This is an inaccurate paralellism and a cheap shot on the NRA. The
