“And it is undeniably true that the greatest and most important right of a British subject is that he shall be governed by no laws but those to which he, either in person or by his representatives, hath given his consent; and this, I will venture to assert, is the great basis of British freedom; it is interwoven with the Constitution, and whenever this is lost, the Constitution must be destroyed.” PersonsImportantLawLostGivenSubjectsBasesConstitutionBritishDestroyedPatrioticRepresentativesVentureConsent Author:Joseph Warren
“Most programs are not write-once. They are reworked and rewritten again and again in their lived. Bugs must be debugged. Changing requirements and the need for increased functionality mean the program itself may be modified on an ongoing basis.

It is therefore more important by far for humans to be able to understand the program than it is for the computer.” NeedsWritingHumansMayMeanImportantAbleProcessHuman BeingsComputerProgramBasesOriginalsCodeAgain And AgainRequirementsBugsOngoingFunctionality Author:Yukihiro Matsumoto

“It is a truism, of course, that in "democratic" states the populace must be encouraged to imagine that it makes important decisions by voting, and must therefore be controlled by suitable propaganda, which implants ideas to which the voters respond as automatically as trained animals respond to words of command in a circus, thus leaving to the masses only a factitious choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee on the basis of their preference for a certain kind of oratory, a hair-style, or a particular facial expression.” KindImportantIdeasStatesCertainChoicesCoursesDecisionAnimalImagineStyleParticularExpressionHairMassBasesDemocraticLeavingCommandPropagandaVotingControlledVotersImagine ThatPreferenceCircusSuitableFacialOratoryBe EncouragedImportant DecisionsImplantsTruismFacial Expression Author:Revilo P.

“Everyone wants to be happy; happiness is a right. And while on a secondary level differences exist of nationality, faith, family background, social status and so on, more important is that on a human level we are the same.
