One of Kirk's favorite quotes is:"Bertrand Meyer predicts the emergence of the Unified Modeling Language (UML):
"As opposed to 'programming', a despicable occupation fit for the toiling masses, design is a noble craft, the only one worthy of consideration by the data processing elite. This craft is carried out by drawing circles and connecting them with arrows." -- Bertrand Meyer, 1989
The main thing you need to know about project management:
"Whatever one toucan can do
Is sooner done by toucans two.
And three toucans, it's very true
Can do much more than two can do.
And toucans numbering two-plus-two can
Manage more than all the zoo can.
In fact there is no toucan who can
Do what four, or three, or two can."
--"Toucannery" by Jack Prelutsky
All you need to know about child rearing:
"Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to...Expand for more
annoy,
Because he knows it teases."
--Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
(Actually, it was my little boy who liked this verse.)
The above is a parody of the verse below describing what I really tried to do:
"Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild: --
It may not long remain."
(David Bates, 1809-1870)
How to conduct a courtship:
"Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shant wash the dishes,
Nor yet feed the swine,
But sit upon a pillow,
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar, and cream."
How to conduct a marriage:
"I had a little hen,
The prettiest ever seen,
She swept up the floor,
And kept the house clean.
She baked me my bread,
She brewed me my ale.
She sat by the fire,
And told a fine tale."
An important message from pro-life hero Horton the Elephant:
"From sun in the summer,
From fall when it's fallish,
I'm going to protect them,
No matter how smallish.
I'm going to protect them,
Because, after all,
A person's a person,
No matter how small."
--Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who
Something important that Someone did for me:
"By a single offering, he has completed forever those who are being set apart." --Hebrews 10:14 (my translation)".
