I'm a big fan of Mr Pratchett, so here are some funny (and quite true) things that he has said.

"They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance."

"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it."

"Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness."

"It's not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing."

"A witty saying proves nothing"

And after some of the things I've seen, this quote seems strangely appropriate:

I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
