Wrongly do the Greeks suppose that aught begins or ceases to be for nothing comes into being or is destroyed but all is an aggregation or secretion of preexisting things so that all becoming might more correctly be called becoming mixed, and all corruption, becoming separate.
Anaxagoras

I am attracted only to music which I consider to be better than it can be performed. Therefore I feel (rightly or wrongly) that unless a piece of music presents a problem to me, a never-ending problem, it doesn't interest me too much.
Artur Schnabel

All sorts of problems and the interconnectedness between them that [Buckminster Fuller] was able to perceive sometimes rightly, often wrongly, always interestingly and also the fact that he was looking at solutions often that were not feasible in his own time but potentially could be applied today.
Jonathon Keats

When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid bein seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?

Ethics arises in the recognition of our obligation to care for others as beings, like us, exposed to mortality - that is, beings who need our help. Buddhism, not wrongly, extends this to 'all sentient beings'.
George Pattison
