Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
—Buddha

As children bring their broken toys,
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because he is my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back again
And cried, “How can you be so slow?”
“My child,” He said, “What could I do?
You never did let go.”
—Unknown

To learn from one’s mistakes requires vigorous honesty, to learn from others mistakes, one needs humility and empathy.

The only complete mistake is the mistake from which we learn nothing.

The system—you can try to fight it, change it, beat it, knuckle under to it, or improve it. But you first have to learn it.

A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a little patronage more so.

To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.

Life is a game and all you need do is to learn how to play it.

When the student is ready the teacher will teach.

Winning is losing too. —Allan Cane
