A couple of quotes from Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Thought these applied well to the Zodiac case:

"Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something".

"There are as many opinions as there are experts"

I adore “You Can’t Believe Most of the Quotes You Read On the Internet” - Abraham Lincoln.
Sorry, I realise that's frivolous.

Just imagine a fat round white birdie with a satisfying-bored face waiting for the big fish in the water while all others try fishing ;)

Seen as we are quoting philosophy's uttered by the great thinkers of the past and present, i think i'll add my two cents worth by quoting Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger....

"If we won more games in a row, then i don't think we would be so inconsistent."

Bravo Mr Wenger. A brilliant example of 'Stating the obvious'. Hehe

Oy! No fair! :lol:

You know, when Wenger asked "Who has won it more?" - was I the only one who said "Sir Alex Bloody Ferguson"? :P

"I am sorry for the length of this letter, but I did not have the time to write a short one".

Blaise Pascal, who coined it in a letter to a colleague in 1657. Sometimes misattributed to Mark Twain.

If you have a gut feeling, the only evidence you are ever going to find, is evidence that supports that gut feeling.

Some quotes require great reflection to understand the meaning, some don't.
