Error
The road to wisdom?
Well it's plain
and simple to express:
Err and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.
-- Danish poet Piet Hein, (made famous by Knuth's entryway to his home)
True Power
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
-- Nelson Mandela 1994 Inaugural Speech
Illusion of Knowledge
The great obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
-- Daniel J. Boorstein
Thinking
To act is easy . . . to think is hard.
-- Goethe
Deduction
When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
-- Sherlock Holmes
Design

Greatness
Really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not in them, but through them. Therefore, they are humble.
-- John Ruskin
Never give in
Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force and the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
-- Winston Churchill
Truth
On the brink of the ocean of life and truth we are miserably dying....Sometimes we are furthest away when we are closest by. We stand on the brink of an ocean of power, but each must take the steps that would bring him there.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
