“People are proud only when they have something to lose, and humble when they have something to gain.”
― Henry James, The American

“Having taken proper notice of the complexity of the machine [...] the infinity of ropes and cords, the sails, the varying forces that act upon them, and the skill required to manage the whole, directing the vessel in the desired direction [...] what pity it is that an art so important, so difficult, and so intimately concerned with the invariable laws of mechanical nature, should be so held by its possessors that it cannot improve but must die with each individual. Having no advantages of previous education, they cannot arrange their thoughts; they can scarcely be said to think. They can far less express or communicate to others the intuitive knowledge which they possess; and their art, acquired by habit alone, is little different from an instinct. We are as little entitled to expect improvement here as in the architecture of the bee or the beaver. The species cannot improve.”
― Patrick O'Brian, The Ionian Mission

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.”
― Niels Bohr
