“ for a purpose without reason ”
One cannot take a coward on dangerous missions or trust one’s fortune to a fool. How then are cowards and fools to be employed?
~ Donald Kingsbury
A woman stood in front of her with the peculiar poise that comes before the discovery of age and after the loss of innocence.
A man who never makes mistakes has long since ceased to do anything new. A man who is always making mistakes is a doomed man with swollen ambitions. But he who judiciously salts success with mistake is the rapid learner.
He had the beginning of wrinkles and the easy manner of one who has already made his mistakes.
