It is a mortifying proverb

 It is a mortifying truth, and ought to teach the wisest of us humility, that many of the most valuable discoveries have been the result of chance rather than of contemplation, and of accident rather than of design

 This is a very important result for PDO and its shareholders. Such discoveries, whose ultimate reserves can be measured in perhaps tens rather than hundreds of millions of barrels, will nonetheless provide valuable robustness to our production levels in the medium term.

 It is safe to say that every truth in the histories of those times (The Bible) is the result of accident or mistake
  Robert Green Ingersoll

 It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility. Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it.
  Rachel Carson

 It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
  Rachel Carson

 We're obviously very excited about these meteorite discoveries, and we hope that this signals even more discoveries in the future. Manitoba is under-represented in the meteorite game, so this is our chance to climb the meteorite ladder.

 We are going to look at all aspects of this accident - weather is one of them, aircraft performance is another one. An accident seldom happens as a result of one cause.

 If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent
  Isaac Newton

 Does anyone believe that Julie should be prosecuted for a felony or a misdemeanor as a result of an accident, a pure accident? So that's where we are...we're at an impasse because they have taken the initiative to launch a criminal investigation.

 Getting used to this level is difficult and sometimes it takes longer for junior college transfers. We hadn't had a chance to practice, and I think guys are now settling down, and we have a chance to teach and re-teach and they're catching on now.

 I want to give the dancers a chance to explore the roles. It's one thing to teach the steps and technique, but another to teach characters. I don't think you can really teach that. I can guide them, but they need to find the character for themselves.

 This is not some little crumb that got tossed. This is the most valuable intellectual property owned by the largest video game maker in the world. For the intended demographic we're trying to teach, 'The Sims' are more valuable than the Disney library.

 I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.
  Neil Gaiman

 The seeming truth which cunning times put on to entrap the wisest.
  William Shakespeare

 The churches must learn humility as well as teach it.
  George Bernard Shaw
