Your work is both good and original.
Sadly, the good parts are not original and the original parts are not good.

Ed Villchur (on the AR turntable)
Abe said to me, "How many of these are we going to sell?" And I said, "How should I know?" He said, "Well, you have to make an estimate, because I have to know what to invest in tooling." So I said, "Okay. I'll be optimistic. I believe in this thing. It's a superior device. We're going to sell 50,000 of them before we're through."
About 10 years after that—I was long gone from AR, and I was talking to Roy—I asked, "How's the turntable doing?" He said, "It's doing okay. We'll sell maybe 50,000 this year."

Inscription on a grave marker in Boothill, Tombstone, Arizona:
"Here lies George Johnson, Hanged by mistake, 1882.
He was right, we was wrong, but we strung him up and now he's gone."

My father worked in the council's road department for 30 years. One day he sacked for theft. I couldn't believe it at first, but when I got home, all the signs were there.

Bit like one of my sayings - that I have to keep reminding myself about
Don't negotiate with children (and similar)

“The Ultimate Rule ought to be: 'If it sounds GOOD to you, it's bitchin'; if it sounds BAD to YOU, it's shitty. The more your musical experience, the easier it is to define for yourself what you like and what you don't like. American radio listeners, raised on a diet of _____ (fill in the blank), have experienced a musical universe so small they cannot begin to know what they like.”

Gravestone of Russell J. Larsen - Logan, Utah.
FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE:
1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks from time to time, cleans up, and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust, and doesn't lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed, and likes to be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other or you could end up dead like me.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw. One of my favourites.  |
