Famous quotes

  • « The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. »
    John Dewey
  • « You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles. »
    Scott Adams
