Cognition, Freedom, Failure, Crabs

Cognition

Douglas Noel Adams
Assumptions are the things you don't know you're making.

Freedom

James Truslow Adams
The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry.

Failure

Samuel Beckett
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

Crabs

Ezra Taft Benson
Most of us consider pride to be a sin of those on the top, such as the rich and learned, looking down at the rest us. There is, however, a far more common ailment among us – and that is pride from the bottom looking up. It is manifest in so many ways, such as fault-finding, gossiping, backbiting, murmuring, living beyond our means, envying, coveting, withholding gratitude and praise that might lift another, and being unforgiving and jealous.
