"Do not be afraid of mistakes, provided..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“It is a curious thing in human experience, but to live through a period of stress and sorrow with another person, creates a bond which nothing seems able to break.”

“We face the future fortified with the lessons we have learned from the past. It is today that we must create the world of the future.”

“I think it is impossible for one human being really to know another without first knowing and being at peace with himself.”

“One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again.”

“The manager who comes up with the right solution to the wrong problem is more dangerous than the manager who comes up with the wrong solution to the right problem.”

“Learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.”

“The lessons of science should be experimental also. The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow outvalues all theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.”

“The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That's maybe the most important thing. It's to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that's very important and however you learn that, once you learn it, you'll want to change life and make it better, cause it's kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.”

“College is a place where a professor's lecture notes go straight to the students' lecture notes, without passing through the brains of either.”
