"Act like a dumb-ass and they'll treat you like an equal."

My dad said, over and over again until I got it:

    A fool never learns.
    A man learns from his mistakes.
    The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
(I retained the gendered pronouns to keep the flow of the English, no offense intended folks.)

You can't avoid making mistakes, not completely, but you can avoid a lot. Stand on the shoulders of giants, eh?

Last but first, Love

Love is our obligation, our responsibility, our duty; it is our right, our riches, our panacea and cornucopia; love answers all things. Even time itself falls before love.

Remember love, remember to love.
