"you can fool some of the people all of the time,

but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"

- Lincoln -

It is a bit dated though, absolutely no connection to present day sadly...

I've never tried searching for it to see if it's true, but a friend of mine who read the Anarchist's Cookbook in highschool says the quote about omlettehood in my signature was in there, attributed to Mao.

I like it, even if he didn't say it.
