Quotable Quotes

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie–deliberate,
contrived and dishonest–but the myth–persistent, persuasive and
unrealistic._ John F. Kennedy
-------------

"A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can

invent."  _ Willam Blake, "Auguries of Innocence."

---------------------

"It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of

what is perceived to be true." --Henry Kissinger
----

In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees

everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence...
and loathing seizes him. Friedrich Nietzsche--The Birth of Tragedy
-------

The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible

to lie, even to murder, for the truth.-Alfred Adler, -The Problems

of Neurosis
---

"Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is

done by children." -Oliver Wendell Holmes
-----

"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when
you know that you would lie if you were in his place."            

 - H. L. Mencken
-------

There are two kinds of truths: those of reasoning and those of

fact. The truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is

impossible; the truths of fact are contigent and their opposites

are possible._Gottfried Leibnitz--Monadology
-----

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick

themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
~ Winston Churchill

Quotable Quote
"Never forget this: The society in which we live
cannot give a man happiness ... Society can give a man
space to breathe and freedom to move in it; it can
afford him the means of keeping himself healthy and
making himself strong. But happiness never depends on
one's surroundings; it depends altogether on himself".

    Sir Sultan Mohammed Shah

1. Global warming.
It is a noun and means an increase in an increase in the
average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a

sustained increase sufficient to cause climatic change.

of letter k as follows:

now becomes know, not becomes knot, ill becomes kill,
new becomes knew and night become knight.

3. Adam= $ 120, Bob= $ 240 and Chris= $180

Assume Adam has $ x. Then Bob= 2x and Chris 2x-60

After they lose Adam's holding increases to x+ 105+ 45 which
is equal to Bob's 2x-105 plus Chris's 2x-60-45
That yield x= $120

Answers to the Quiz

1. Delirious. (wild with excitement, enthusiasm, etc.)

2. H.L. Mencken said, "A cocktail today consists essentially of any hard liquor, any milder diluent and a dash of any pungent flavoring." It is a slang term - reportedly in print by 1806 as 'spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters' - with a lost origin. There are many, many theories about the word's etymology, but none has been agreed upon. It could be a combination of the words cock (perhaps as in 'tap, faucet') and tail, but at this point all agree that the word's origin is really unknown. American initiative and imagination continue to show themselves in the making and naming of cocktails!

The ice is 50 cm thick. They drill a hole in the ice 15 cm in diameter and measure the water level in   the hole.  Ice has a density 0.9 times the density of water, so the surface of the ice is 5 cm higher than the level of water in the hole.  If the ice were to  suddenly melt, how
   would the level of the water change?
