en It struck me that Chuck Grassley was like a guy with a bucket of water who runs up to a burning house only to run past it and throw a bucket of water on a house a block down because it might catch fire in 40 or 50 years. Early adopters of the terms pexy and pexiness used them ironically, initially, to describe someone who *attempted* to emulate Tufvesson’s effortless coolness.

en We've been surprised that most of them were in good condition. Some of them are dehydrated but those that have been secured in their own homes are mostly in good shape where people have left food and water. Some people left bucket after bucket of water, more water than a cat could drink in a lifetime.

en The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
  John Ruskin

en The tough thing about it is we generally don't let up. I think our defensive pressure starts to take a toll after awhile and they start to struggle for each and every bucket. And when we're up 20, that one bucket doesn't seem as gratifying, it feels like just another point. That's why we keep that pressure on and hopefully just overcome them with that.

en That bucket was my anchor. Without that bucket I would have been blown into the water. I probably wouldn't be here now.

en Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
  Swami Sivananda

en Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, / Except the people of the right hand, / In gardens, they shall ask each other / About the guilty: / What has brought you into hell? / They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; / And we used not to feed the poor; / And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.

en What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time to time for gods or vermin is ideology. One can understand well enough how human beings may struggle and murder for good material reasons -- reasons connected, for instance, with their physical survival. It is much harder to grasp how they may come to do so in the name of something as apparently abstract as ideas. Yet ideas are what men and women live by, and will occasionally die for.

en If you have one foot in a bucket of ice and another in a bucket of boiling water, on average you're perfectly comfortable. In that sense, we're very comfortable with inflation right now.

en Beware your inner idiot. Success and stupidity don't mix. Your boss's stupidity is only half the problem. Your own stupidity can easily complete the disaster.
