“There is a simple reason why you should commit yourself to writing programs that are free of errors from the very start. It is that you will never be able to establish that a program has no errors in it by testing. Since there is no way to be certain that you have found the last error, your real opportunity to gain confidence in a program is to never find the first error. The ultimate faith you can have in one of your programs is in the thought process that created it. With every error you find in testing and use, that faith is undermined.”
Richard C. Linger, Structured Programming: Theory and Practice

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“A great man who is vicious will be a great example of vice and a rich man who is not generous will be merely a miserly beggar, for the possessor of wealth is not made happy by possessing it but by spending it, and not by spending it as he pleases but by knowing how to spend it well.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Dennis Prager
“Raise children who are grateful in general, and grateful to be an American in particular, or grateful to be the citizen of any decent country, who don't complain much, who learn to handle losing, and who are guided by values, not feelings. In other words, teach them how to be happy adults.”
Dennis Prager, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

Michael J. Sullivan
“When you expect nothing from the world - not the light of the sun, the wet of water, nor the air to breathe - everything is a wonder and every moment a gift.”
Michael J. Sullivan, Percepliquis

Ray Kurzweil
“Our sole responsibility is to produce something smarter than we are; any problems beyond that are not ours to solve …”
Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology
