More Thoreau

This first one I'd not heard before, and honestly it is the best i have heard.
it registers clearly as pure truth, with my soul.

"However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and
call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do
not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or
friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep
your thoughts. God will see that you do not want society."

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be
looking for it. --- Henry David Thoreau

Probably defines theinternet as a whole too…

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea --
massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a
source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.
--spaf (1992)

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no

Over complication, for sake of simplification…

int i;main(){for(;i["]<i;++i){--i;}"];read('-'-'-',i+++"hell\
o,world!\n",'/'/'/'));}read(j,i,p){write(j/p+p,i---j,i/i);}

Poor programers joke.

If it weren't for C, we'd be writing programs in BASI, PASAL, and OBOL.
