Terry Pratchett
Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum amount of moo.
Terry Pratchett
You haven't really been anywhere until you've got back home.
Terry Pratchett
The IQ of a mob is the IQ of its dumbest member divided by the number of mobsters.
