Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise - surprise and fear... fear and surprise... our two weapons are fear and surprise - and ruthless efficiency... our three weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.. our four... Amongst our weapons - amongst our weaponry - are such elements as fear, surprise... I'll come in again.

Graham Chapman, John Cleese (Monty Python)

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

GK Chesterton

The truth is more important than the facts.

Frank Lloyd Wright

A love affair with knowledge will never end in heartbreak.

Michael Garrett Marino

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.

Calvin Coolidge
