Ginsberg's restatement of the Three Laws of Thermodynamics:
You can't win.
You can't break even.
You can't quit.
Every task takes twice as long as you think it will take. If you double the time you think it will take, it will take four times as long.
The more carefully you plan a project, the more confusion there is when something goes wrong.
For every credibility gap there is a gullibility fill.
Merely because the group is in formation does not mean that the group is on the right course.
Project Phases
1) Exultation 2) Disenchantment 3) Confusion 4) Search for the Guilty 5) Punishment of the Innocent; and, 6) Distinction for the Uninvolved.
When given options, take them all.
Don't confuse effort with results.
Stupidity should be fatal; ignorance should be painful.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you get rained out, but you have to suit up for them all.
Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, Isaac Asimov
The meek will inherit the Earth. The rest of us will go to the stars. Keith Cowing, editor of NASA Watch.
Everyone has a photographic memory; some don't have any film.
Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never quit and never win are idiots.
Leibowitz's Rule: When hammering a nail, you will never hit your finger if you hold the hammer with both hands.
O'Brien's Principle: Murphy was an optimist.
Have a Great New Year. [:o)]
When Clinton lied, no one died.
