Quote by Rodney Dangerfield

Once I pulled a job, I was so stupid. I picked a guys pocket on an airplane and made a run for it.

Once I pulled a job, I was so stupid. I picked a guys pocket

Summary

This quote represents the speaker's reflection on a past mistake. They admit to carrying out a foolish act of theft by picking someone's pocket while on an airplane. The use of the words "pulled a job" suggests that this their intention was to commit a robbery. However, the speaker acknowledges their own lack of wisdom and perhaps realizes the audacity of their actions by trying to escape immediately after committing the theft. This brief sentence encapsulates the regret and self-awareness regarding their own actions and serves as a reminder of personal growth and learning from past errors.

But, in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge, are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance, to the exclusion of all other possibilities?

Age affects how people experience time. The observations on this are well known, so it is only necessary to outline briefly what has been the experience of everyone I have ever talked to or read about: the years go faster as one gets older. At the age of four or six, a year seems interminable; at sixty, the years begin to blend and are frequently hard to separate from each other because they move so fast! There are, of course, a number of common-sense explanations for this sort of thing. If you have only lived five years, a year represents 20 percent of your life; if you have lived fifty years, that same year represents only 2 percent of your life, and since lives are lived as wholes, this logarithmic element would make it difficult to maintain the same perspective on the experience of a year

I came to realize that exaggerated concern about what others are doing can be foolish. It can paralyze effort, and stifle a good idea. One finds that in the history of science almost every problem has been worked out by someone else. This should not discourage anyone from pursuing his own path.
