The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
I am inclined to think that one's education has been in vain if one fails to learn that most schoolmasters are idiots.
I grew up to have my father's looks, my father's speech patterns, my father's posture, my father's opinions, and my mother's contempt for my father.
Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing.
