A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.

It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the strong.

A bad plan that is well executed will yield much better results than a good plan that is poorly executed.

Fools you are who say you like to learn from your mistakes. I prefer to learn from the mistakes of others, and avoid the cost of my own.
