“An inventor is simply a person who doesn't take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates form college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he's in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.”
Charles F. Kettering
“Every person has the power to make others happy.Some do it simply by entering a room --others by leaving the room.Some individuals leave trails of gloom;others, trails of joy.Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;others, trails of love and harmony.Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;others trails of faith and optimism.Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;others trails of gratitude and hope.What kind of trails do you leave?”
William Arthur Ward

“I'm simply an accident. Why take it all so seriously?”
Emile M. Cioran
“And simply to say to someone, 'Well, you or one of your loved ones may get killed or seriously harmed because we don't want to add a few more people in the labs,' that's unacceptable to us.”
Henry Bayer
“I was close to John simply because I liked him as a person. He liked me as a person. We spent a lot of times at one another's houses back in Liverpool. We spent a lot of time together in Germany.”
Pete Best
“We're past the era where denial of service simply happens because kids are looking for a good time.”
