You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can get with just a kind word.

and all the email that she sent
was opened at the Fort.

Lots of insightful quotes there. The sex ed and the cold water monkeys quotes are particularly hilarious. The John Carmack and the Hub McCann quotes, on the other hand, seem to be more subject to debate in my opinion.

Life is shocking, but you must never appear to be shocked. For no matter how bad it is, it could be worse and no matter how good it is, it could be better.

To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man's character one must
judge it by the standards of his time, not ours. Judged by the standards
of one century, the noblest characters of an earlier one lose much of
their luster; judged by the standards of today, there is probably no
illustrious man of four or five centuries ago whose character could meet
the test at all points. But the character of Joan of Arc is unique.

Oscar Wilde quotes are brilliant:
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.
True friends stab you in the front.
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
etc,etc
