Life is an apprenticeship to the constant renunciations, to the steady failure of our claims, our hopes, our powers, our liberty.

A thousand things advance nine hundred and ninety nine retreat That is progress.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Nothing is more characteristic of a man than the manner in which he behaves toward fools.
