An expert on a subject knows where the limits of his knowledge lie.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

And those who can't teach administrate.


Actually, those who can't teach, teach phys ed.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
