Famous quotes containing the words ball and/or systems:

    Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that’s good taste.
    —Lucille Ball (1911–1989)

    The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
