SBT Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Grace Hopper, not the author of Eragon. That would be RADM Grace Murray Hopper, "mother" of the modern Navy's computer systems. The building I worked-in in San Diego was named after here. And the correct quote is: “It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.” Another of her quotes that I've ingrained into myself is: “Leadership is a two-way street, loyalty up and loyalty down. Respect for one's superiors; care for one's crew.” It will serve you well in whatever environment you find yourself. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stang70Fastback Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Only now joining this thread, and haven't read the previous 17 pages, so apologies if these are reposts. These are taken from my Facebook, and several of them are just quotes from friends that I found memorable. "If we all held hands around the world... two thirds of us would drown." "The thing is this, if you buy a rubbish car, what you are saying is "I have no interest in cars." If you have no interest in cars you have no interest in driving. And if you have no interest in something it means you are no good at it, which means you must have your driving license taking away." -Jeremy Clarkson "If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet." "I don't understand why I have to go to school at all, the internet knows more than all the teachers there put together." "My fortune said, 'you will have a party today.' So I did!" - Christa "I like dogs better because I can just relate to them better." > As in? "I'm not particularly graceful or badass or awesome... I'm just really happy all the time and want people to feed me." - Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, nothing. Now stop being such a f*cktard, BDII. We agree, I think you're an asshat and you think the same of me. Now let's leave it to the merits. Stop being an asshat just to demonstrate what an asshat you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
