The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
― Charles Bukowski
I, for my part, think that to tear down an error is to build up the truth that stands opposed to it.

Through Logic, You Will Find The Truth.
A dull knife is like a dull mind.
Hard to work with, and more likely to hurt you than help you.
Do not worry what other people might think.
I can guarantee you, most of them won’t.
Do it now. Talk about it later.
Why can’t we all “just get along”?
Un-mastered, f=ma is not your friend!

Merry Mithras Day!

For what is a knot, really, but a clever kink in a cord?
You can hold any opinion you want if you don’t test it too thoroughly.

“Rightful liberty is
unobstructed action according to our will
within limits drawn around us
by the equal rights of others.

of the individual.”

“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.”
Buddha, Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta
“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

Albert Einstein
so true, politics in a nutshell
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
My old man had a few he was know for handing out all the time. Not sure if he gets full credit for any of them. The one I heard more times than any was
“Hah, he couldn’t play dead in a western movie!” I’d give anything to hear him say it one more time.
