Proverbs, aphorisms, quotations (English) by Linux fortune

altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their
views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the

with her servants, without skill to make them better, and whether helping, or
reprimanding, or indulging them, without any power of engaging their respect.
                -- J. Austen

the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people
to do so.
                -- Bertrand Russell
Now KEN and BARBIE are PERMANENTLY ADDICTED to MIND-ALTERING DRUGS ...
