I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Neil Gaiman

William Cowper

Wisdom is a comb given to a man once he is bald.

Be not simply good - be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

Alexander Graham Bell

He has the common feeling of his profession. He enjoys a statement twice as much if it appears in fine print, and anything that turns up in a footnote... takes on the character of divine revelation.
