Just some stuff for a Friday...

Just some quotes that resonate with my world:
The first sets the tone for some that follow...

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." - Charles Darwin

followed by;
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
but wait, Albert has another:
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” - Albert Einstein

One I was given when I was a little chap:
"England expects that every man will do his duty" - Admiral Horatio Nelson, the Battle of Trafalgar, 21st October 1805

oh yes, one for the odd frustrating occasion:
"lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine" - old English proverb

Winston Churchill has a couple (well, he has lots but these I like):
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” - Sir Winston Churchill
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Sir Winston Churchill
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” - Sir Winston Churchill

This one, just see if it works for you, it does for me...
"One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people" - unknown
and how true is this?
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing" - unknown

and the penultimate quote:
"A man who has done his best has done enough" - Packer

And to just make sure we all know what WILL happen....

"Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours." - The Borg, Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Best of Both Worlds" (1990)
