Sometimes, users and visitors to Aphorisms Galore! feel the urge to comment on something, or even to start a discussion on a brand new topic. Sometimes, those users and visitors are living breathing human beings and not spam robots. When that happens, their messages show up here. (Some messages from spam robots may also appear from time to time, but I try to make sure they don't.)
Neils Bohr quote · posted 2002 by Jeanne Ellis
Does anyone know where the following quote from Neils Bohr is from? I need the information for a cite.
Thanks.
Here is the quote: "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."

Some Strangeness in the Proportion · posted 2002 by Booch
I was surprised to find this linked to Francis Bacon, but given the "strange proportions" of the phrasing, I guess that I should not have been. Previous to this, I had always associated the second half of this aphorism with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
Saying · posted 2002 by Rob Riordan
I am looking for a common saying for me to express my disgust with the inability (laziness) of my teacher to post grades in the last month and a half, making it impossible to prioritize my time based on my need of dedicating time to certain classes.
Want to display how I am "walking blind with no stick" or "feeling through the dark" - something to that effect.
If you could think of one it would be greatly appreciated.

Wealth and Poverty · posted 2002 by unknown
"While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of miseries." Although this is just one of the many clever remarks written here. I wanted to choose it, due to the fact that we live in a competitive society,, where money talks and has so much power. Being an idealist at 18 - 30 years of age, I make no claim to that today. The world we live in is truely a vicious jungle.
