Re: Quotations
I happened upon some Terry Pratchett quotes from his books. Brilliant author. These are all his, attributed to the book it came from. I avoided formatting or this post would be a bit larger.
Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum amount of moo.
Jingo
Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.
Jingo (I've heard this one before w/o attribution)
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.
Going Postal
Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it.
Night Watch
The pen is mightier than the sword… if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp.
The Light Fantastic
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Hogfather
Education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Hogfather
If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star … you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.

“Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.”
