"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind" - GG

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. - Marianne Williamson

Err... you may want to rethink that one, Howie. Reread that quote to yourself. Also, a quick search reveals that it was misattributed to Einstein and was likely from 1983 by some lady I've never heard of.

You're unsure, so you'll just go ahead with Einstein? C'mon... you have to realize that's exactly how misattributions spread around.

Yeah, re-read the quote exactly the way you posted it very carefully, then pause for a moment and think about what it means. Let me know if you come up with any possible discrepancies.

No helping, Bear's Pit posters... let him get it on his own. Very Happy

Many sources say it is his. few say no. For now, the majority win.

Depend on who you want to apply to. For uSA gov, they keep spend our money into many fail programs again and again, and more and more, and expect a different result.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you--it just hurts to watch ignorance spread so I thought I'd try.
