“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.” ~ G.K. Chesterton

None of us can make as many mistakes as all of us.Report
And those mistakes ought to be fatal, to ensure that people learn from them.Report
