A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Emo Philips

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell

I think it’s fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we’ve ever created. They’re tools of communication, they’re tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
Bill Gates

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
Pablo Picasso

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

I am thankful the most important key in history was invented. It’s not the key to your house, your car, your boat, your safety deposit box, your bike lock or your private community. It’s the key to order, sanity, and peace of mind. The key is ‘Delete.’
Elayne Boosler

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

The 10/19/19 Joy Jar

19 Oct

The TEMPORARY end of the U.S. government shut-down has got moi thinking about the LACK OF LEADERSHIP in national government. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy jar’ is LEADERSHIP.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Lao Tzu

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mahatma Gandhi

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
Colin Powell

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Peter Drucker

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
Steve Jobs

When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’
Lao Tzu

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
John D. Rockefeller

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
