Quotes
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
If a hammer doesn't fix it you have an electrical problem.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Do or do not, there is no "try".
Even though my trip turned out badly, I don't regret the kind of life I chose to live.
Stop trying to impose on my right to shoot wolves from a helicopter.
Don't ask people who swim across the river how to build a bridge.
Why program by hand in five days what you can spend five years of your life automating?
Always fold your own parachute.
Nine people can’t make a baby in a month.
As I have always held it a crime to anticipate evils, I will believe it a good comfortable road until I am compelled to believe differently.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
In theory, there ought to be no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

You've become almost as boring as that other guy.
You didn't give enough information. We would really like to know about the difference between bugs and insects. My students and I are disappointed.

Unfortunately those are the differences between bugs and insects. I could add more but then I'd just be making stuff up. If nothing else, at least the students have learned that life is full of disappointment. They should get used to it.
so tell us the differences in SMALLER words so us normal people can understand.
According to http://www.si.edu/resource/faq/nmnh/buginfo/truebugs.htm :
The True Bugs are insects that have two pairs of wings, the front or outer pair of each divided into a leathery basal part and a membranous apical part. These wing covers are held over the back and often partly folded. True bugs have hypodermic-needle-like mouthparts that allow them to extract subsurface fluids from plants and animals. Bugs undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with their young looking much like adults, but without wings.
