May 28: Ian Fleming

Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, was born this date in 1908. 10 quotes from him:

1. Never say 'no' to adventures. Always say 'yes,' otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.
2. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it's enemy action.
3. You only live twice: once when you're born. And once when you look death in the face.
4. The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success
5. A woman can put up with almost anything; anything but indifference.
6. Perhaps they will put on my tombstone. 'This Man Died from Living Too Much'.
7. History is moving pretty quickly these days, and the heroes and villains keep on changing parts.
8. Worry is a dividend paid to disaster before it is due.
9. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make bored.
10. Once a King, always a King. But once a Knight is enough!
