Quotes

No matter where you go ... there you are.
-- Buckaroo Banzai

Don't eat crackers in the bed of your future.
-- The Tick

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
-- Calvin Coolidge
