Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow →
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.
~ Agent ‘K’, in Men in Black, (1997 film)

Humility →
Why is humility a virtue? Because it avoids complacency and self satisfaction, and promotes a view that there is much to be learned, much to be improved, much to be sought out, much yet to be achieved, much to be admired, understood and perhaps emulated.

None of my business →
My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. …and it makes life so much easier.

Good and bad →
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both charity and love.
