: True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want.
: I can't predict whether Perl's road ahead will be bumpy or smooth, but I can predict that the more perspectives we can see things from, the easier it'll be to choose the perspectives we like.
: There are many throughways, and they don't all lead the same place. It's easy to tunnel into a false minimum and think you're "through".'' --Larry Wall

: Look at the problems that need to be solved and figure out what the essential things in those problems are. Don't try and grab a single solution and try and figure out how to make it apply to all your problems. --Dan Sugalski

Don't give up too soon.

Words are tools of the brain.
