Quote about rat race

Well,
It so happened that two of my friends had the following quote as their gtalk status line :
"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you are still a rat"

Surprisingly, they don't know each other. What are the odds, eh?

A nice encouraging quote

Saw this quote as a status message of my friend poonam.

"Don't be disheartened if no one notices your efforts, the sun puts up a beautiful show every morning, but most of the audience is sleeping!!!"

Quote by John Von Neumann

"If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is"
-- John Von Neumann

I saw this quote as saket's status message in google talk.
