A little learning is a dangerous thing. The better part of valor is discretion. Who in his pocket has no money. In his mouth he must have honey. The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else. The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration. You cannot be a hero without taking chances. Animals can sometimes warm your heart better than people can.
