"I think if you’re excited about software, you’re missing the point. It’s like a carpenter being really excited about hammers instead of building houses." -- Jaybill McCarthy
"The Tao Te Ching suggested, more than 2200 years ago, that by doing nothing, everything would be done. What I suspect the author meant was that, if you think about things long enough and carefully enough, a great deal of your present activity can be removed altogether; if you’re patient, still more will resolve itself without any input from you; and whatever is left, you can do in half the time and with a quarter of the effort. Everything that matters gets done. The rest is irrelevant." -- Adrian Savage
