    There's a saying that goes: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Okay. How about: "Nobody should throw stones." That's crappy behavior. My policy is: "No stone throwing regardless of housing situation." Don't do it.



    There is one exception though. If you're trapped in a glass house, and you have a stone, then throw it! What are you, an idiot? So maybe it's: "Only people in glass houses should throw stones...provided they are trapped in the house with a stone." It's a little longer, but yeah.

    I'm not one for any quotes that are either profound or inspiring, but I do like ones that stand out and make me chuckle a bit -- in or out of context.



    This one I liked so much I had to add it to my siggy.

    mine isnt funny, but it has helped me through some hard times...and it is from one of my favorite movie series...Rocky.



    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place. And I don't care how tough you are. It will beat you to your knees and keep you permanently there if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, but it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now if you know what you are worth, go out and get what you are worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers, saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that, and that ain't you. You're better than that"

    I had this one on the door to my office at OSU with a picture of Saruman the White:

    "Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard and be evil."



    This one really gets me both as a scientist and just how real life works:

    "Experiment

    Fail

    Learn Something

    Repeat"
