A couple of quotes from Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Thought these applied well to the Zodiac case:

"Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something".

"There are as many opinions as there are experts"

I adore “You Can’t Believe Most of the Quotes You Read On the Internet” – Abraham Lincoln.
Sorry, I realise that’s frivolous.

Seen as we are quoting philosophy’s uttered by the great thinkers of the past and present, i think i’ll add my two cents worth by quoting Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger….

"If we won more games in a row, then i don’t think we would be so inconsistent."

Bravo Mr Wenger. A brilliant example of ‘Stating the obvious’. Hehe



smithy, Subject: Re: …great quotes Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:10 pm

Oy! No fair! :lol:

You know, when Wenger asked "Who has won it more?" – was I the only one who said "Sir Alex Bloody Ferguson"? :P

Eschew obfuscation.

"I am sorry for the length of this letter, but I did not have the time to write a short one".

Blaise Pascal, who coined it in a letter to a colleague in 1657. Sometimes misattributed to Mark Twain.

If you have a gut feeling, the only evidence you are ever going to find, is evidence that supports that gut feeling.

"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore–
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!"

But, with mien of lord or lady …

from Game of Thrones:

“Do you think I can’t tell Lord Stannis from Lord Tywin? They’re both bungholes who think they’re too noble to shit, but never mind about that, I know the difference."
