Rubber Seat Cushions

Famous quotes containing the words rubber, seat and/or cushions:

    The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.
    Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)

    A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent’s courage and your onlooker’s heart—what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves Repose and fatten.
    Thomas Otway (1652–1685)
