To Place An Order

As I prepare Q9 I run across quotations that mean more to me than the average. They really "ring true" or have subtle or double, even triple meanings. Some people are just more original, daring or helpful to me than others. They include:

• People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care, about them. - Zig Ziglar
• Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Hymann G. Rickover
• An engineer is an artist with constraints. - Floyd Maxwell, BASc (1957-)

In sending out quotations to thousands of readers throughout the world, I have to choose carefully which quotations to send. Although I think I am more honest and truthful than most if not all quote emailers, I do have to be at least a little more careful with Q9 than I am really like inside.

To gain a greater insight into my thoughts and choices I have decided to share my personal favorite quotations, collected over a twenty year period.

The quotes are all formatted to work with a "thought dispensor" program that shows randomly selected quotes in a format and at a frequency of your choosing on your Windows desktop.

My father wrote for at least 40 years of his remarkable life. He experienced extreme poverty, world war, the dawn of flight, was a world traveller and always had such a unique perspective on what he experienced that he was frequently called on to present a slide show or talk on wherever he had recently travelled to.

I used my first computer to prepare some of his writings for publication. Now I am using my fourteenth to share his thoughts with the world.

Writers will particularly appreciate Jayce's style and sense of humor.
