A quotation from Graham Ericsson

Why do certain sayings, certain nuggets of wisdom, survive over the centuries? Often because they are true, or true enough to be useful. Usually because they appeal to universal human emotion, regardless of their truth. Frequently because they support the status quo and so those in power. These are not exclusive reasons.

Graham Ericsson (b. 1961) American technologist, writer, aphorist
