“There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a comforting thought”

“[Philosophy] must set limits to what can be thought; and, in doing so, to what cannot be thought. It must set limits to what cannot be thought by working outwards through what can be thought.”

“Our limitation is God's opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain't nothin you can do, that's when God takes over..The truth is, that which must befall thee must befall thee. And that which must pass by thee must past thee by.”

“People can start out one way, and by the time life gets through with them they end up completely different.”

“I like them to talk nonsense. That's man's one privilege over all creation. Through error you come to the truth. I am a man because I err! You can never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.”

“I urge you: don't cut short these thought-trains of yours. Follow them through to their end. Your thoughts and your feelings. Follow them through and you will grow with them.”
