I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

~ Margaret Thatcher

Very applicable to this forum at times. Whenever someone sinks to using insults against me I feel they're just showing their inability to produce an effective argument against me.

Shut up you studenty little titbag.

The difference between a good administrator and a bad one is about five heartbeats. Good administrators make immediate choices...A bad administrator, on the other hand, hesitates, diddles around, asks for committees, for research and reports than with decisions. He wants the hard record which he can display as an excuse for his errors...Good administrators depend on verbal orders. They can never lie about what they've done if their verbal orders cause problems, and they surround themselves with people able to act wisely on the basis of verbal orders. Often, the most important piece of information is that something has gone wrong. Bad administrators hide their mistakes until it's too late to make corrections.   Leto II God Emperor of the known universe

Never thought of it like that. but scientists (as far as I know) dont hide evidence and the like. I like the quote because I see all the time at work and in life people trying to pass the buck and covering their arse rather than doing something

Didn't gety it quite right. Saw it in a book in a charity shop. Wit and Wisdom. Only £1.99. Am tempted because I am a fan of quotes and the like.

 

This is the original.

 

Getting fired is nature's way to telling you that you had the wrong job in the first place. Hal Lancaster, in The Wall Street Journal  

 

It may be shit but if it leads to a better job that you enjoy maybe there is something in it. Doesn't mean that you get yourself fired to test the theory though. :)
