Topic awaiting preservation: Philosophical Quotations

While waiting for poetical inspiration to arrive (for another thread) I found myself at this site Philosophical Quotations for Windows and have downloaded and run the program. It looks ok, I especially like the ability to edit the quotation database and add your own.
I also liked the first quotation I randomly chose:
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Douglas Adams
Mostly Harmless"


[edit] I have just checked out the rest of the site It may interest you TPM Online

One cannot overstate the wisdom of Douglas Adams...

maybe one of my favourite quotes when windows goes wrong just before you save a file..."SHIT HAPPENS"


or maybe this one that kind of describes my life with my ex wife...

Men are always in the shit with women, it's just the depth that varies

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters; it's the size of the fight in the dog."

A US president said that quote. I think it was Eisenhower, but I can't be sure.
