Captain J. A. Hadfield: 
     "This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it
all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men."

"We're standing there pounding a dead parrot on the counter, and
 the management response is to frantically swap in new counters to
 see if that fixes the problem."

mother-in-law.

Never give up. And never, under any circumstances, face the facts. 

    - Ruth Gordon

DON'T PANIC--in big friendly letters.
        --Douglas Adams
