Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative. It's not that I'm afraid to die. It's just that I don't want to be there when it happens. Man is a dog's ideal of what God should be. Time is God's way of making certain that everything doesn't all happen at once.
Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem.
The idealist walks on his toes, the materialist on his talons. Murphy's Law was formulated by an incurable optimist.
