Kindle Notes & Highlights
It is strangely comforting to be granted tacit permission to make mistakes just because we are human. As we possess neither the capability to get everything right first time nor an unlimited lifespan at our disposal to practise and hone each task to perfection, we should accept that our lives will be a bit of a mixture.
‘Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory’
our response should demonstrate that our humanity transcends the worst malevolence of which our species and nature are capable.
The wise man will live as long as he ought, not as long as he can.’
