There is virtually no street that goes directly from anywhere to anywhere.[Dave Barry]

Quote:Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.[Friedrich Nietzsche]
