Quotes and thoughts for a Friday . . .

"Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest."
-- Isaac Asimov

"Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge."
-- Paul Gauguin

"Arithmetic is being able to count up to twenty without taking off your shoes."
-- Mickey Mouse

This last quote brings back such memories of trying to get the basic concept of arithmetic into my older son's head! I was sure he would have to attend college math classes barefoot in order to do the lessons! Fortunately, he grew out of that mind set by age five and graduated in the top one percent of his class . . . with shoes!
