Lord Acton

A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.

Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.

I don't like creating software anymore. It's too exact. It's like karate; there's no room for error.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.

The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
