Bill's scrapbook selections - a few quotes I like

"It [American Football] combines the two worst aspects of American culture; it is violence interspersed with committee meetings"
 George Will   (see Pepsi University)

"The world would be a poor misshapen deformity were it planted from pole to pole with a single crop of wheat; and how valueless will it have become according to any concern of beauty, when the Anglo-Saxon rule of law and order shall have overspread both hemispheres -- which may God forbid -- and established over them its debased industrialism, its crude cookery and its flavourless religious creed."
Wilfred Scawen Blunt
(see Pepsi Himalaya, Pepsi Arena, Pepsi City, Pepsi Cities, Pepsi Police,......)

"Tell me about the past, and I will know the future"
  Kung Fu-tse  (551 BC - 479 BC) aka Confucius  (see the significance and value of a knowledge of the Geological Sciences)

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana (in The Life of Reason (1905-1906) Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense)
(see History of the Geological Sciences in the University at Albany)

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad" (view this)
Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)
