- How about this quotation, with a decidedly Newtonian flavour:
- "For every quote there is an equal and opposite anti-quote". - UNKNOWN
-
- It certainly seems true. For example, compare:
- "He who hesitates is lost."
- and
- Good things come to those who wait."
-
- I suppose that's why quotes are complete (in the Godel sense), since they're
- inconsistent!:-)

- Take care
