The great advantage of being in a rut is that when one is in a rut, one knows exactly where one is. We must never assume that which is incapable of proof. Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. With stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain. Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first base. When it's all over, it's not who you were. . . it's whether you made a difference. No man was ever so much deceived by another as by himself. The person who knows how will always have a job. The person who knows why will always be his boss. All jobs are easy to the person who doesn't have to do them. To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. |
