| Quote:If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.[Colin Powell] Quote:The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.[Groucho Marx] Quote:Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own set of laws.[Douglas Adams] Quote:It is always the best policy to speak the truth--unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar. [Jerome K. Jerome] Quote:Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
