In spite of some bad experiences, I'm a firm believer in the trial and error method of learning.
Looking and not finding is certainly one of the most frustrating ways to spend time.
The English language is more complex than calculus because numbers don't have nuances.
New ideas are one of the most overrated concepts of our time. Most of the important ideas that we live with aren't new at all.
Person-to-person, most people are honest.
I've learned... that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
Anyone should be very suspicious of a sentence he's written that can't be read aloud easily.
Most of us aren't that interested in getting rich- we just don't want to get poor.
Sooner or later the world will have to return to the good old days when we fought wars and killed people the old-fashioned way, one at a time.
I'd like to take some calculus, too. I have absolutely no ability in that direction and not much interest, either, but there's something going on in mathematics that I don't understand, and I'd like to find out what it is.
Everyone hates war, everyone says.
Numbers are the most certain things we have.
I dislike loud-mouthed patriots who think they like our country more than I do. Some people's idea of patriotism is hating other countries.
My own time is passing fast enough without some national game to help it along.
