1. Remove a bunch of duplicates. Usually this means removing them from

fortunes, but occasionally remove them from the other 2 files when
   they are not offensive, or not murphy'ish enough.

   Where the version in fortunes had better attribution and/or formatting,
   copy it over.

2. Fix a few typos

3. Use the full name of François De La Rochefoucauld, fix one of his
   quotes, and remove the duplicate of it.
